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.
Can you define "Native English Speaker" for me and all the data points you expect to be sent over for this scenario please?
Definition per KH pages: Immigrant Student with only English Reported on Indiana Home Language Survey. Report Prof. Level NES - program is not required - instrument used is not required - Birth Country is required and must be outside of the USA or USA territories
MultilingualLearners - 19. Students are native English speakers but were not born in the US. What would you expect to be sent?
Prof. level is NES, instrument used is 7 (N/A) and birth country. The program is not required. If vendor software requires a program when prof. level is other than 0 then program will be Regular Education - Non-EL.
A 13 yr student needs to report as receiving a Certificate of Completion because the info wasn't reported in 2023 ODS as it should have been. The student has returned for the 23/24 school year and needs their LEP record to send, and the SAR record to show the student has previously received their Certificate of Completion. What is expected to be sent, in this special circumstance?
Special education students who have received a COC may return and they should have an enrollment record provided along with all other data reported as required. The SAR record would be provided with a 'diploma award date' prior to 10/1. The record would show school year 2024 (still counted in 2023 grad) with term descriptor matching to term provided in 2024. Special ed program record would not be ended if student is still receiving services.
