How long does a district have to provide special services to ELL students?
ELL students must be provided with alternative services until they are proficient enough in English to participate meaningfully in the regular program. To determine whether a child is ready to exit, a district must consider such factors as the students’ ability to keep up with their non-ELL peers in the regular education program and their ability to participate successfully without the use of adapted or simplified English materials. Exit criteria must include some objective measure of a student’s ability to read, write, speak and comprehend English.
