WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP BOARD OF EDUCATION FILE CODE: 6142.2 Woodbridge, New Jersey X Monitored Mandated Policy X Other Reasons

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE; BILINGUAL PROGRAMS The Woodbridge Township Board of Education shall provide English as a second language (ESL) and/or bilingual programs of instruction for students. The requirements of the Bilingual Education Act (N.J.S.A. 18A:35-16) mandate that programs in both English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual Education be implemented as follows: A. Each school must maintain a census of students whose native language is not English. B. Students listed on the census who score below the district’s cutoff score on the appropriate

standardized test, and the Initial Evaluation Sheet (IES) upon entry into the school district must be tested with the Maculaitis Test (Mac II) WIDA-ACCESS Placement Test (W-APT). Those who score below the state’s minimum level of proficiency on the Mac II W-APT test are eligible for inclusion in the ESL/Bilingual Program.

C. Whenever a district has 20 or more students in the ESL program sharing a common language, these

students must be provided with Bilingual classes or an alternative Bilingual program. Classes must begin during the first full school year after the enrollment for the school year equals or exceeds 20.

Therefore, all students identified as being in need of ESL and/or Bilingual services will be offered the opportunity to participate in these classes until such time as they have achieved sufficient English language proficiency to participate fully in all regular programs. As per state law, parents will have the option of refusing ESL and/or Bilingual services by sending a letter to that effect to the principal of their child’s school. The superintendent shall develop procedures in accordance with administrative code to determine which students would benefit from ESL and/or bilingual programs and to involve school staff, parents/guardians and community members in reviewing programs to determine which would best meet these students' needs. The goal of ESL programs is to assist students to achieve fluency (including listening, comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing skills) in English. The goal of the bilingual program is to permit students to learn subject matter in their primary language while developing English language skills. The goal of all such programs shall be achievement of the Common Core State Standards. All district high school English language learner students (ELL) shall satisfy both state and district requirements for graduation, except that any ELL student may demonstrate attainment of state minimum levels of proficiency through passage of the Special Review Assessment process in his/her native language and an English fluency assessment approved by the Department of Education or passage of the Alternate High School Assessment (AHSA) process in English with appropriate accommodations. Parents/guardians of students of limited English speaking ability shall be notified by mail of the fact that their child has been identified as eligible for enrollment in a bilingual, ESL or English language services education program. This written notice shall include the information that the parents may choose to decline to enroll their child into the bilingual program. Communication with parents/guardians of students in these programs shall be in writing and in both English and their primary speaking language. Reports of student progress shall be made to parents/guardians on the same schedule as reports of students in the regular program.

File Code: 6142.2 ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE; BILINGUAL PROGRAMS (continued)

2

The district will implement a parent involvement program which will include opportunities for parents to meet with ESL/Bilingual staff members, to participate in an annual ESL/Bilingual Program Planning, Design, and Implementation Meeting, and to participate in a Bilingual Parents' Advisory Committee. The superintendent shall direct development of an annual plan for ESL and/or bilingual education that is in compliance with state guidelines. The board will review and approve the plan at a public meeting. The board must adopt the courses of study for ESL and bilingual programs in the same manner in which it adopts the curriculum for the regular program. In order to receive the state-endorsed high school diploma, English language learner (ELL) students must meet the district's graduation requirements. Students enrolled in district bilingual or ESL programs shall be assessed annually for exit from such programs, using indicators described in the administrative code. Whenever it is determined that a student should exit from the bilingual program, parents/guardians shall be notified by mail. Parents/guardians may remove a student who is enrolled in a bilingual education program at any time; except that during the first three years of the student's participation in a bilingual education program, he/she may only be removed at the end of each school year. Removal prior to the end of the school year shall be approved by the executive county superintendent. If the executive county superintendent determines that the student should remain in the bilingual education program until the end of the school year, the parents/guardians may appeal that decision to the commissioner of education/designee pursuant to law. The commissioner shall render a decision within 30 days of the filing of the appeal. The board may petition the commissioner of education to waive the requirement for a full-time bilingual program when it can demonstrate that it would be impractical to provide such a program, due to the age range, grade span or geographic location of the eligible students. Bilingual Special Education Assessment Since some students of limited English proficiency may have special learning needs that cannot be met in bilingual and ESL programs, the superintendent or his/her designee shall develop procedures concerning the screening, pre-referral, referral, assessment, and placement of these students in appropriate educational programs. The process for pre-referral, referral, evaluation, and classification will be the same for limited English proficient students as for other students. However, the age, the sociocultural background, and the dominant language of the student will be taken into account. The process may include referral to a district Child Study Team (“CST”) and may result in a comprehensive evaluation and possible classification. The CST will include a culture sensitive, bilingual member such as a bilingual teacher, psychologist, or social worker. (N.J.A.C. 6A:14-2.5) If the CST determines that bilingual or ESL instruction is necessary for any classified student, the appropriate services will be provided. To ensure that children in need of special services are identified, the board will make bilingual, ESL, and general education staff fully aware of the characteristics of students with special learning problems.


3

Special Education Services Each student with disabilities will receive a special education program and services according to how the student can succeed in learning, including related services specified in the student's Individualized Education Program (“IEP”). Classified students of limited English proficiency will receive services that address their needs. All services available to any student with disabilities should also be offered to students with disabilities who are limited English proficient. These services may include transportation and such developmental, corrective, social, and other supportive services as are required to assist students with disabilities to benefit from a free and appropriate public education. In addition, the CST must consider the language needs of the student. The program and services prescribed by the CST must be made with consideration of the student's linguistic and special education needs and must be clearly stated in the child's IEP. In addition, the board will attempt to: A. Foster communication between bilingual and special education personnel to promote understanding

of the roles and operational procedures for both departments;

B. Adapt or adopt culturally relevant material to the special education curriculum;

C. Locate and incorporate in the board’s program promising practices in bilingual special education programs where full bilingual special education services are not feasible: such practices include ESL instruction, team teaching, peer tutoring, assistance of bilingual aides, etc.
