The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to ensure that students who are identified as English Language Learners (ELLs), are provided with an appropriate instructional program that meets their needs. The instructional programs and services available and provided to ELLs to assist them with acquiring English proficiency are in accordance with Commissioner's Regulations and Federal and State laws.

The District has developed a comprehensive approach in meeting the educational needs of ELLs, which includes the following: The District’s administrative practices and procedures to screen, identify, and place ELLs in appropriate programs; the District’s system to measure and monitor the progress of ELLs; a description of the services provided to ELLs; the District’s procedures regarding ELLs who are students with disabilities; and the District’s process to exit ELLs, including students with interrupted or inconsistent formal education; and the District’s structure to provide parents and other persons in parental relation with required information in a language that they best understand.

The Superintendent shall ensure that all data required regarding the education of ELLs is submitted in a timely manner.

Additionally, the District will provide professional development to all teachers, administrators, and Level III teaching assistants, as required by law and Commissioner’s regulations.
