FOLDER CONTENTS …. Initial Review; …. Annual End of Year Review; Princeton ISD BI/ESL Handbook Monitoring of Exited Students Page 2 POSITION STATEMENT “English is the basic language of this state. Public schools are responsible for providing a full opportunity for all students to become competent in speaking, reading, writing, and comprehending the English language” (TEC §29.051). Princeton ISD recognizes that the mastery of basic English language skills is a prerequisite to effective participation in the state’s educational program. Bilingual education and special language programs can meet the needs of students who have limited English proficiency (LEP) and facilitate their integration into the regular school curriculum. Therefore, in accordance with the policies of the state (Texas Education Code §29.051 and Texas Administrative Code §89.1201) to ensure equal educational opportunity to every student, and in recognition of the educational needs of students of limited English proficiency, Princeton ISD provides bilingual and English as a second language programs for students identified as LEP in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. The purpose of this handbook is to: • Familiarize staff, LPAC members, and parents with the definition of limited English proficiency and provide information regarding state laws and district guidelines for identifying and serving these students. DEFINITIONS Student of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) is defined by the Texas Education Code §29.052 as a student whose primary language is other than English and whose English language skills are such that the student has difficulty performing ordinary classwork in English. The bilingual education program is a full-time program of instruction for students in Grades PK5 in which both the students’ home language and English shall be used for instruction. Bilingual education is required if 20 or more limited English proficient students are enrolled in one grade level. PISD has 20 or more limited English proficient students whose native language is Spanish. English as a Second Language (ESL) is defined by the Texas Education Code §29.052 as a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers trained in recognizing and dealing with language differences. The purpose of Princeton ISD’s ESL program is to provide second language instruction for older students in which bilingual education is not available. GOALS The goal of the PISD Bilingual education and English as a second language program shall be to meet the needs of students whose primary language is other than English and facilitate their integration into the regular school curriculum. PISD’s goal for all LEP students in the bilingual or ESL programs is to exit/mainstream into general education classes within five (5) years or less of program entry. Princeton ISD BI/ESL Handbook Page 3 PROGRAM GUIDELINES The bilingual education and ESL programs are designed to assist students who have limited English proficiency transition gradually from speaking their home language only to the point that they are proficient in English. The required bilingual education or English as a second language program shall be provided to every LEP student with parent approval until such time that the student meets exit criteria. The bilingual and English as a second language programs shall be an integral part of the regular education program. Both programs are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and utilize instructional approaches designed to meet the special needs of LEP students. These programs shall be designed to consider the students' learning experiences and shall incorporate the cultural aspects of the students' backgrounds. The program shall address the affective, linguistic, and cognitive needs of limited English proficient students. In subjects such as art, music, and physical education, LEP students shall participate fully with English-speaking students in regular classes provided in the subjects. Students enrolled in the bilingual or ESL program shall also have a meaningful opportunity to participate fully with other students in all extracurricular activities. Bilingual education and English as a second language programs shall be located in the regular public schools of the district rather than in separate facilities; however, the district may concentrate the programs at a limited number of schools within the district provided that the enrollment in those schools shall not exceed 60% limited English proficient. Students shall be enrolled in classes with other students of approximately the same age. Princeton ISD’s bilingual program shall be implemented on the Lacy and Harper Elementary Campuses. Transportation is provided. Princeton ISD’s English as a second language program shall be implemented on every secondary campus within the district. The district shall offer a voluntary summer school program for LEP children who will be eligible for kindergarten or first grade at the beginning of the next school year. The program schedule will be established by the Board to meet the requirements of the Texas Education Agency. This will be an intensive language program, which meets standards set by TEA, and the student teachers ratio will not exceed 18:1. Princeton ISD BI/ESL Handbook Page 4 PROGRAM ORGANIZATION Bilingual Education Program The bilingual education program at PISD shall be a full-time program of instruction for students in Grades PK-5 in which both the students’ home language and English shall be used for instruction. PISD has adopted a ninety percent English and ten percent Spanish transitional/early exit model for its bilingual program; however, the actual amount of instruction in each language within the bilingual education program shall be commensurate with the students’ level of proficiency in each language and their level of academic achievement. The transitional/early exit model serves students identified as LEP in both English and Spanish in the core subjects and transfers a student to English-only instruction not earlier than two or later than five years after the student enrolls in school at which point the district's ESL program is designed to assist the transition, typically by grade six. Bilingual classes shall be taught by a certified bilingual teacher using state-adopted English and Spanish instructional materials and supplementary materials as curriculum tools to enhance the learning process. English as a Second Language Program (ESL) The English as a second language program at PISD shall be an intensive program of instruction in English provided for students in Grades 6-12 that is designed to develop proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading, and composition in the English Language. PISD has adopted the English as a Second Language/pull out model. ESL classes are taught in English with double emphasis on content and language development. ESL students shall receive two periods of ELAR, one period for content instruction in reading and writing and one period for intensive language and vocabulary development. When scheduling allows, these two periods may be double blocked for seamless integration of content and language instruction. The ELAR ESL classes shall be taught by a certified ESL teacher who is trained in recognizing and dealing with language differences. For all other courses and electives, LEP students shall be mainstreamed in regular education classrooms where ESL strategies as well as sheltered instructional approaches shall be provided to assist the LEP students to master the essential knowledge and skills for the required subjects. The ESL program shall use state-adopted English as a second language instructional materials and supplementary materials as curriculum tools, and there shall be ongoing coordination between the English as a second language program and the regular education program. 5 LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE (LPAC) The district shall by local board policy establish and operate a Language Proficiency Assessment Committee on each campus. Each Campus shall have on file, policy and procedures, the selection, appointment, and training of members of the LPAC. BI/ESL LPAC Members- LPAC committees shall include a professional Bilingual or ESL teacher (depending on the program), a general education teacher (can be an ESL teacher), a parent of a limited English proficient student who is not an employee of the district, and a campus administrator. The parent of each bilingual and ESL student in PISD shall be extended an invitation to attend all meetings regarding bilingual or English as a second language program placement, review, and exit for their child. Training of LPAC Members- The district shall provide orientation and training from current LPAC members or Region 10 Educational Service Center for all LPAC members. This orientation will include discussion of the committee’s duties and a thorough explanation and review of all laws and rules governing the confidentiality of information regarding individual students. In performing their duties committee members will be acting for the district and shall observe requirements regarding confidentiality of student records. Duties of LPAC- Within four weeks of the initial enrollment of any LEP student and at the end of each school year, the LPAC shall: (1) Review all pertinent information on limited English proficiency students, including the home language survey, the language proficiency tests in English and the primary language, each student's achievement in content areas, and each student's emotional and social attainment; (2) Make recommendations concerning the most appropriate placement for the educational advancement of the limited English proficiency student after the elementary grades; (3) Review each limited English proficiency student's progress at the end of the school year in order to determine future appropriate placement; (4) Make recommendations for exiting students from the bilingual or ESL program when program criteria has been met. (5) Monitor the progress of students formerly classified as LEP who have transferred out of the bilingual education or special language program and, based on the information, designate the most appropriate placement for such students; and (6) Determine the appropriateness of a program that extends beyond the regular school year based on the needs of each limited English proficiency student. 6 STUDENT IDENTIFICATION Home Language Survey: Princeton ISD shall conduct a home language survey to be administered in English and Spanish to each student new to the district within four weeks of enrollment. The survey shall be signed by the parent or guardian for students in pre-kindergarten through grade 8 and by the student in grades 9-12. The survey shall be conducted only once, and the original copy of the survey shall be kept in the student’s permanent record. If an earlier home language survey is received from a student’s prior district, this will replace the one conducted by our district as the original in the permanent folder. The home language survey shall be used to establish the student’s language classification for determining whether the district is required to provide a bilingual or English as a second language program. If the response on the home language survey indicates that a language other than English is used, the student shall be assessed for program eligibility. Assessment: To each student, who has a language other than English as identified on the home language survey, the district shall administer the following tests in the student’s home language for identification for the bilingual program and in English for identification in the ESL program. All the oral language proficiency testing shall be administered by professionals or paraprofessionals who are proficient in the language of the test and trained in language proficiency testing. Oral Language Proficiency Test (OLPT): Grades PK-1 Grades 2-12 The IDEA Proficiency Test (IPT) will be used to determine whether a student is considered limited English Proficient (LEP). The IDEA Proficiency Test (IPT) will be used in conjunction with the normreferenced test: Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), to determine whether a child is considered limited English proficient. IPT Test Forms: (Ages 3-5 - Pre-IPT); (Grades K-6 - IPT-I); and (Grades 6-12 - IPT-II) Princeton ISD may accept testing and parental consent from another district when a new student enters at the recommendation of the LPAC committee. If the OLPT reveals that the student’s ability in English is so limited that the reading and language arts sections of the ITBS would not be valid, it is not necessary to administer them. The district shall implement assessment procedures, which differentiate between language proficiency and handicapping conditions. The admission, review and dismissal (ARD) committee in conjunction with the LPAC committee shall determine an appropriate assessment instrument and designated level of performance for indicating limited English proficiency for students for whom those tests would be inappropriate as part of the individualized education program (IEP). 7 PLACEMENT OF STUDENTS Within the first four weeks after enrollment, a student will be identified, assessed, and placed in the bilingual (K-5) or ESL program (6-12). Bilingual PK students must be identified, assessed, and placed by the LPAC Committee prior to the first day of attendance. The student's parent must approve a student's entry into the program, exit from the program, or placement in the program. The school district or parent may appeal the decision under Section 29.064. If parent approves, the student must be placed in the bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) program as soon as the student is identified as Limited English Proficient (LEP), and the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC) has recommended such placement. The district shall place the student in the program on the date the LPAC recommends that services begin but may count the student for special language funding only after parental approval is received (along with home language survey, test scores, and documentation of LPAC recommendation). If parental denial is received, the student is placed in a regular English classroom; however, the student is still considered LEP and shall receive instruction supports for English language learners. Note: The admission, review and dismissal (ARD) committee in conjunction with the LPAC committee shall determine appropriate placement for identified LEP students. The district shall establish placement procedures that ensure that placement in the bilingual or ESL program is not refused solely because the student has a disability. PARENTAL AUTHORITY / NOTIFICATION Parent means the parent(s) or legal guardian of the student. Within ten days after classification, the Language Assessment Committee (LPAC) shall give written notice to parents advising that a student has been classified as Limited English Proficient (LEP) and requesting approval to place the student in the bilingual or ESL program. The notice shall be in English and the primary language and it shall include information about the benefits of the program for which the student is recommended and that it is an integral part of the school program. Pending parent approval, the district shall place the student in the bilingual or ESL program. The entry or placement of a student in the bilingual or ESL program must be approved in writing by the student’s parent. Approval shall be considered valid for the student’s continued participation in the program until the student meets the established exit criteria, graduates from high school, or the parent requests a change in program placement. The district shall notify the student’s parent of the student’s reclassification as English proficient and his or her exit from the bilingual or ESL program and shall acquire written parent approval. APPEALS A parent of a student enrolled in a school district offering bilingual education or special language programs may appeal to the commissioner if the district fails to comply with the requirements established by law or by the agency as authorized by this subchapter. If the parent disagrees with the placement of the student in the program, the parent may appeal that decision to the board of trustees. Appeals shall be conducted in accordance with procedures adopted by the commissioner. 8 EXIT CRITERIA At the end of the school year, an English language learner may be transferred (exited, reclassified, transitioned) out of a bilingual or ESL education program for the first time or a subsequent time if the student is able to participate equally in a regular all-English instruction program as determined by satisfactory performance in all three assessment areas below and the results of a subjective teacher evaluation: Pre Kindergarten and Kindergarten: A student may not be exited from the bilingual or the ESL program in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten TAC 89.1225. Exit criteria for LEP students may not be considered until the end of first grade. Grade 1-Grade 12: OLPT Oral = Listening Speaking English Reading English Writing Subjective Teacher Evaluation Scored fluent on Oral language proficiency: IPT (grades 1-12); or advanced high score on the TELPAS listening and speaking; and Achieved Level II on the STAAR reading (grades 3-9); STAAR ELA (grades 9, 10) or scored at or above the 40th percentile in reading and language arts on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills: ITBS (grades 1-2); and Achieved Level II on the STAAR writing (grades 4, 7); STAAR ELA (grades 9, 10) or IPT writing test in grade levels where STAAR is not given or advanced high score on the TELPAS writing); and Assessments, anecdotal notes, portfolios, etc. Caution should be exercised when considering exit of students in Grades 1-2. It may be premature in these grades to consider program exit due to developmental factors related to emergent language and literacy TAC 89.1225. LEP students for who the LPAC has recommended linguistic accommodation on the STAAR reading or writing test may not be considered for exit. An exited student may continue in the bilingual/ESL program with parent approval but are not eligible for inclusion in the district allotment. The decision to exit a student who receives both special education and special language services is determined by the admission, review and dismissal (ARD) committee in conjunction with the LPAC committee. The ARD committee in conjunction with the language proficiency assessment committee shall determine an appropriate assessment instrument and performance standard requirement for exit for students for whom the test criteria above would be inappropriate as part of the IEP. The decision to exit a student who receives both special education and special language services from the bilingual education or English as a second language program is determined by the ARD committee in conjunction with the LPAC committee (see LPAC Framework Manual procedures). Note: A parent may request in writing to remove their child from the program and place their child in a regular English classroom; however, the student is considered as a parent denial rather than exited from the program and is still considered LEP until they meet the criteria for English Proficient. 9 MONITORING OF STUDENTS EXITED FROM THE BILINGUAL OR ESL PROGRAM The LPAC committee shall monitor a student during the first two school years after he/she is transferred out of a bilingual or ESL program to determine whether the student is academically successful. For determining whether a student who has exited from the program is academically successful, the following criteria shall be considered at the end of each school year: The student meets state performance standards in English on the criterion-referenced assessment instrument required in the TEC, §39.023 (STAAR), for the grade level as applicable; and The student has passing grades in all subjects and courses taken TAC 89.1225. After evaluation, the LPAC committee may require intensive instruction for the student or reenroll the student in the bilingual/ESL program. REEVALUATION/REENROLLMENT The LPAC committee shall reevaluate a student who has transferred out of the bilingual or ESL program if the student earns a failing grade in a subject in the foundation curriculum during any grading period in the first two school years after the student is transferred to determine whether the student should be reenrolled in a bilingual or ESL program. Those students who are not academically successful shall be classified as Limited English Proficient (LEP), and shall be recommended for reenrollment in the bilingual or ESL program, compensatory education, or other program, which addresses their needs. EXTENDED YEAR PROGRAM PISD offers a voluntary bilingual education summer school program for children of limited English proficiency who will be eligible for admission to kindergarten or the first grade at the beginning of the next school year. These students shall receive 120 hours of instruction on a schedule to be determined by the district each year. The student/teacher ratio for the program shall not exceed 18/1. 10 DOCUMENTATION Each student’s assessment data, all LPAC information, and original signed forms shall be maintained in the Yellow LEP Folder, and this folder shall be placed inside his/her cumulative folder. Their cumulative folders should contain the same information as any other student. For ease of review, each year’s LPAC data shall be stapled together with the latest year on top. Keep all relevant data and signed forms. A Guide for LEP Student Information Note: Items in the box below must occur within the first 4 weeks (20 school days) of the student’s enrollment in the district and contain signatures and dates where applicable.

Title III requirements impacting the LPAC process have been integrated in the forms contained in the manual. 11 STAFFING AND STAFF DEVELOPMENT Princeton ISD shall take all reasonable affirmative steps to assign appropriately certified teachers to the required bilingual education and English as a second language classes. In addition, regular education classroom teachers who teach language arts in grades Pre-K through grade eight shall obtain an ESL Supplemental Certification. Language Arts teachers in grades 9-12 shall obtain Sheltered Instruction (SIOP) Certification. Princeton ISD endorses the position that quality staff development cannot be overemphasized. Princeton ISD will ensure that all bilingual and ESL teachers receive ongoing, in depth staff development in language instruction designed to meet the affective, cognitive, and linguistic needs of all ESL students. PARENT AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Princeton ISD embraces the belief that the educational process is successful only if parents are included as partners in the education of their children. Parents will receive information related to program objectives and activities, newsletters, cultural events, and parent involvement meetings. PISD shall make every effort to ensure that bilingual personnel are available on each school campus to provide translations for meetings and documents to be sent home. It is the policy of Princeton ISD to involve the parents in all decisions regarding their child. Parents of students in the bilingual and English as a second language programs are invited to be a part of the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC) for the identification, review and exit of their children. Parents and community members are invited to be a part of the district and campus site-based decision committees. PISD offers evening English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for parents through the Community Education Program.

Consequently, we recommend that your son/daughter be placed in the following program required in the district (19 TAC Subchapter BB §89.1205): _________________ Bilingual (PK-5) ______________English as a Second Language (ESL) (6-12) The following is a description of the program that your son/daughter will be placed in. It describes how the program differs from the regular program in content, instruction goals, and use of English and native language instruction. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Our district expects all students, including students participating in the Bilingual or English as a second language (ESL) programs, to achieve success in meeting the academic standards set by the state. The district’s curriculum is the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). 22 Program Benefits: Because your son/daughter hears a language other than English at home and /or speaks a language other than English with peers, he/she would benefit from intensive English instruction. Teachers in the bilingual and ESL programs are trained on how to plan instruction for children whose first language is not English. Curriculum and instruction in the bilingual/ESL program will be accomplished through developmentally appropriate materials and instructional strategies designed to accelerate your child’s development of English comprehension, communication and academic skills. The bilingual education program provides your child with instruction in English by a teacher who also speaks Spanish to make sure that he/she understands what the teacher is saying; therefore the student achieves his/her own potential. A teacher in the ESL program is trained on how to teach the English language using special strategies, teaching materials, and is sensitive to the individual needs of a student who is learning English. This is necessary so that your son/daughter will meet all of the required state standards expected of all students. In the case of a child with a disability, close collaboration will be maintained with the special education program by following the student’s Individual Educational Plan (IEP). The transition from the bilingual/ESL program into the regular program is expected to occur when your child meets the exit criteria set by the state for Bilingual and ESL program students. 1. This determination is based upon tests that measure the extent to which the student has developed oral and written language proficiency and specific language skills in both the student’s primary language (for students enrolled in bilingual education) and English, and one of the following: A. Meeting the state performance standards for STAAR in English reading and writing (when available) as required in the Texas Education Code (TEC), §39.023, at grade level; or B. Scoring at or above the 40th percentile on both the English reading and the English language arts sections of a TEA – approved norm-referenced test. 2. In making this determination, the district will also consider other indications of the student’s overall progress, including STAAR scores in other subject areas, teacher evaluation, and parental evaluation. Please indicate your approval for your child’s participation in the district’s Bilingual or ESL program by entering your signature in the appropriate space. □ I do want my son/daughter to participate in the □ I do want my son/daughter to participate in the ESL bilingual program.

El currículo estatal son los conocimientos y destrezas esenciales de Texas (TEKS), es el mismo que se enseña en nuestro distrito. Se espera que todos los estudiantes cumplan con los estándares del estado con éxito. Princeton ISD BI/ESL Handbook Page 24 Beneficios del Programa: Como su hijo/a escucha Español en casa y también habla en Español con sus alumnos, el o ello pudiera beneficiar en tener instrucción bilingüe. A los maestros en los programas bilingües e inglés como segundo idioma se les da entrenamiento sobre como desarrollar los planes de instrucción para los niños cuyo primer idioma no es el inglés. El currículo y la instrucción en el programa bilingüe/ESL serán llevados a cabo usando materiales apropiados de acuerdo al nivel de desarrollo del estudiante y por medio de metodología apropiada diseñada para acelerar el desarrollo de la comprensión, comunicación, y las destrezas académicas en inglés. El programa de educación bilingüe le ofrece a su hijo/a instrucción en Español departe de de una maestra que también habla Español para asegurar que el o ella entienda lo que esta diciendo la maestra, y entonces el estudiante puede alcanzar su potencial. Una maestra en el Programa de Ingles Como Segundo Idioma (ESL) es entrenada en como dar lectura en el idioma de Ingles usando materiales especiales, maneras de enseñar especiales, y también es sensitiva a lo que necesita un estudiante cual esta aprendiendo Ingles. Esto es necesario para que su hijo/a aprenda todo lo que es requerido por el estado. Esto puede incluir el uso del primer idioma del niño/a. En el caso de un estudiante con alguna discapacidad, se mantendrá una colaboración con el programa de educación especial y se seguirá el programa individual de educación (IEP) que se ha elaborado especialmente para el estudiante. Los estudiantes pueden salir del programa cuando hayan cumplido con los requisitos del programa establecido por el estado para los estudiantes en los programas bilingüe e inglés como segundo idioma (ESL). 2. Esta decisión debe basarse en los logros académicos obtenidos en las pruebas que miden el dominio del idioma en las áreas de lectura, escritura, expresión oral y comprensión, tanto en el primer idioma (para los estudiantes que participan en el programa bilingüe) como en inglés, y también uno de los siguientes criterios: A. El logro de los estándares estatales para STAAR en lectura y escritura en inglés (cuando estén disponibles) como lo requiere el Código de Educación de Texas (TEC), §39.023, al nivel escolar que les corresponda; o B. Una puntuación de percentil 40 o superior en las secciones de lectura y de artes del lenguaje de la prueba de medición estandarizada aprobada por la Agencia de Educación de Texas (TEA). 2.

Cumplir con los estándares estatales para STAAR en lectura y escritura en inglés (cuando estén disponibles) como lo requiere el Código de Educación de Texas (TEC), §39.023, al nivel escolar que les corresponda; o D. Una puntuación de percentil 40 superior en las secciones de lectura y de artes del lenguaje de la prueba de medición estandarizada aprobada por la Agencia de Educación de Texas (TEA). 2. Al tomar la decisión, los distritos también pueden tomar en consideración otros indicadores del progreso del estudiante, incluyendo los resultados de las pruebas STAAR o TAAS, la evaluación subjetiva del maestro y la evaluación de los padres. Por esta razón, se recomienda que su hijo/a: □ Continúe en el programa bilingüe (PK-5) □ Continúe en el programa de inglés como segundo idioma (6-12) □ Vuelva a participar en el programa bilingüe □ Vuelva a participar en el programa de inglés como segundo idioma □ Salida del programa bilingüe (PK-5) o ESL (6-12) El criterio de salida del programa se ha cumplido. □ Salida del programa bilingüe (PK-5) o ESL (6-12) Programa basado en la revisión integral del comité ARD/LPAC- estudiantes de educación especial solamente. □ Supervise al estudiante por 2 años adicionales - después de salir del programa para que tenga éxito en la escuela □ Supervise al estudiante por 1 año adicional – el estudiante ya no participa en el programa □ Programa de instrucción rechazado por el padre/madre/representante legal; se continúe supervisando el progreso académico del estudiante Si tiene algunas preguntas sobre esta decisión, llame a _________________________________________________a nuestra oficina al ____________________.

We are pleased to inform you that your child has met exit criteria and has been reclassified as English Proficient by the LPAC Committee, which means that your child will be able to exit the bilingual or English as a second language program and participate equally in a regular, all English, instructional program. The LPAC Committee will continue to monitor the academic progress of your child for the next two years to ensure that he/she is academically successful and will recommend placing him/her back in the bilingual or English as a second language program again, if necessary.
