J - English Learners File 2022-2023

Introduction

The English Learners File includes one record for each student enrollment in the State Transitional Bilingual Instruction Program during the current school year. If a student enters, exits, and re-enters the State Transitional Bilingual Instruction Program, there should be two records to reflect the two enrollments. This file also includes a record for each student who is eligible for, but not served by the State Transitional Bilingual Instruction Program.
