The number of LEP students identified and served by district and grade in public and nonpublic schools. This activity is supported by Delaware's state grant program under the Bilingual Education Act, ESEA Title VII, as amended during the FY 96 project year. Information about Delaware's programs for LEP students was collected through a survey distributed to each district LEP contact person or the professional staff responsible in each school district for managing the local instructional program for LEP students. Delaware public school districts completed the survey during the Winter of school year 1995 - 1996. All 19 Delaware public school districts participated in the annual program, student and staff survey.
