Title: English Language Acquisition Grants Under the No Child Left Behind Act: Analysis of State Grant Formula and Data Options
Authors: Rebecca R. Skinner, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report examines the American Community Survey (ACS) data that the U.S. Department of Education has used to calculate state grants since FY2005. It also analyzes state-reported data that could potentially be used to calculate these grants. Differences in LEP and immigrant student counts based on the different data sources are compared, revealing substantial differences in student counts for some states depending on the data source used.
