In order to

Instruction for Limited English Proficient (LEP) and Immigrant Students, school
divisions must report annually the number or percentage of LEP students making
progress in learning English, as well as the number or percentage of LEP
students attaining full English proficiency.
To ensure
accuracy in reporting, a Web-based system will be used to enter the required
data for the 2005-2006 school year. School divisions should complete the
Web-based chart for all K-12 LEP students who were enrolled for a full academic
year during 2005-2006. To complete the
chart, school divisions should enter the number of LEP students by grade level
and English language proficiency (ELP) level as a result of their performance
on the spring 2006 state-approved English language proficiency assessment, or
as a result of a body of evidence that includes the state-approved English
language proficiency results.
