This Act has evolved greatly over the years. Each time it was reauthoized or debated, it gave ELL students more benefits and rights for greater educational growth.

This has been noted as the most important court decision that benefited ELL students. It was a case that had Chinese American students in San Francisco placed in regular education classrooms.

President Bush decided that in the ESEA, the Title VII Bilingual Act would be replaced by Title III. The word Bilingual was replaced with LEP Limited English Proficient.This was done to take away the negative thought of a deficit learner.

Title III gave grants to help with state education agencies. This is not like the Bilingual Education Act, it gives money to non bilingual and bilingual programs, so that the children get the services they need. All ELL students are to have " language instruction education programs." These programs must have two things in place to get this money. Teach English and teach academic content.
