TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED:
SUBJECT: 2011 Title III Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) Reports Now Available
The purpose of this letter is to notify local education agencies (LEAs) that the 2011 Title III Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) reports are now available for access using the TEA Secure Environment (TEASE) NCLB Reports application. A 2011 Title III AMAOs report is available in TEASE for all LEAs with identified English language learners (ELLs). Under the Title III accountability system, an LEA that receives Title III funds and has not met one or more of the AMAOs is subject to required interventions as per Sections 3122(b) and 3302(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
TEASE NCLB Reports Application In order to access the AMAOs reports users must have specific access to the NCLB Reports application. Users who do not have a TEASE login must first establish access to TEASE by completing an online request at https://seguin.tea.state.tx.us/appsng/um/apply.aspx. Users who have a TEASE login, but have not previously requested access to the NCLB Reports application, must log on to TEASE at https://seguin.tea.state.tx.us/apps/logon.asp and follow online instructions for adding access to the NCLB Reports application. Please allow approximately 10 business days for access to be granted.
Title III-Funded LEAs Not Meeting AMAOs If the 2011 AMAOs report for your LEA indicates that the district did not meet one or more of the AMAOs, the district is required to provide parental notification within 30 days to the parents of all ELLs in the district. To meet this federal requirement, the district must provide notification no later than January 20, 2012. The TEA has provided a sample parental notification letter and instructions which can be accessed online, as discussed next in this letter. In addition, the TEA will send you, via regular mail, further information regarding additional interventions that may be required, depending on the number of consecutive years for which your LEA has not met all AMAOs.
Resources Available Online Please visit the Title III section of TEA’s ELL Web Portal, located at http://elltx.org, to access the following:
