For PK students, should schools report a multilingual learner program before the student is evaluated and their Limited English Proficiency Descriptor and ELL Instrument Used are known?
PK students with a language code other than English are not associated to a ML program. They are reported with Prof. Level 0 and Instrument Used is code value 7=N/A.
I'm not so sure about that as we do end a Multilingual Learner program record at a change in each proficiency or test type/level. Is that for our vendor only?
Multilingual Learner programs are not to be ended when a student has a change in the proficiency level. The only time a program should be ended is when the student is changing program services or the student is graduated.
