Guidance from the Departments of Education and Justice on Equitable Educational Access for English Learner Students
The Departments of Education and Justice released joint guidance (PDF, 40 pages) reminding states, school districts, and schools of their obligations under federal law to ensure that English learner students have equal access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential. Resources accompanying the guidance include:
- A fact sheet in English (PDF, 4 pages) and in other languages about schools’ obligations under federal law to ensure that English learner students can participate meaningfully and equally in school
- A fact sheet in English (PDF, 2 pages) and in other languages about schools’ obligations under federal law to communicate information to limited English proficient parents in a language they can understand
- A toolkit (PDF, 11 pages) to help school districts identify English learner students, prepared by the Education Department’s Office of English Language Acquisition. This is the first chapter in a series of chapters to help state education agencies and school districts meet their obligations to English learner students
