Title III


Newcomer Children and Youth


The term newcomer means individuals who:

  1. Are aged 3 through 21;

  2. Were not born in any State; and

  3. Have not been attending one or more schools in any one or more States for more than 3 full academic years (cumulative or may not be successive).

Meaning of State: This includes each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This definition is for Title III purposes only and is unlike the definition of “State” in Section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which applies generally to ESEA programs. Section 9101 does include the outlying areas.
