Agenda Item Summary:
|
This Board Brief is an overview of English Learner programming and priorities for the 2023-2024 school year.
|
|
Background:
|
The school division is committed to ensuring high-quality English Learner services for students and their families. All students enrolling in ACPS complete a Home Language Survey at the time of registration. If the Home Language Survey indicates that a language other than English is spoken in the home, students are assessed for English proficiency to determine eligibility for EL services. Parents and guardians of students found eligible have the right to accept or waive the services. English learner program services are language services designed to supplement the general education program and help students attain language proficiency in English and achieve academically.
