The English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement and Academic Achievement program provides funds for helping limited English proficient (LEP) students attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards as all students are expected to meet. Funds must be used for increasing the English proficiency of LEP students by providing high-quality language instruction and highquality professional development. Private school students and teachers whose schools are located within an LEA that receives a subgrant from the state are eligible to participate in this program, as required by the Uniform Provisions.
