"The Oregon education department has cut off federal funds for English-language learners to the Portland public schools because it deems the district's programs for such students to be out of compliance with federal law, reports an article in The Oregonian.

Explore the links in the article and you'll see this money is from Title III of the No Child Left Behind Act, which authorizes funding specifically for English-acquisition programs. In a decade of reporting on ELLs for EdWeek, I've never heard of a state department of education withholding Title III funds from a district."
