Districts must monitor students who exit the bilingual program for two years. On campuses where bilingual students are served, the LPAC committee includes a bilingual educator, a professional transitional language educator, parent of a LEP student who is not an employee of the district and a school administrator. On the remaining campuses, the LPAC committee is comprised of one or more professional personnel and a parent of a LEP student who is not an employee of the district. The committee reviews the status of each bilingual and ESL student on the school to determine proficiency. LEP students exempted from taking TAAS take an alternative assessment.
Districts select alternative assessments from a list of state-approved tests.
Released TAAS tests from previous administrations may also be used when appropriate. Assessment 4 - 6 th Bilingual SpEd Alt. Assessment 2 - 6 th Bilingual SpEd Alt.
