8 jpschools.org WHAT IS SUPPLANTING? If a item, or service can be purchased for students with general funds, school funds, Title I funds, or from any other funding source, you can not use Title III funds. Title III funds are used to supplement-“the cherry on the top.” This may include tutoring, materials, technology only purchased for ELLs. Textbooks, large amounts of copy paper, school supplies or anything that is “ part of the cake” is not allowable from Title III.

Can I use Title III funds for the mail invitations and hand outs in Spanish, and to pay for an interpreter? I am buying Promethean boards for my new teachers’ classrooms with Title I funds. Can I buy a Promethean Board for my ESL teacher with Title III funds? Can I buy Spanish books for PBS rewards for my ESL students with Title III funds? Can I pay teachers/paras who tutor ELLs with Title III funds?
