Purpose

When Collected

Immigrant Count

To count the number of immigrant students (both public and nonpublic schools) enrolled in a district.

Anually in the winter, usually in February

Bilingual Waiver

Districts that enroll 20 or more limited English proficient (LEP) students from the same language background may request a waiver from the requirement for a full-time bilingual education program. A waiver allows districts to establish a bilingual education program alternative when the district can demonstrate that due to the age range, grade span and/or geographical location of eligible students, it would be impractical to provide a full-time bilingual program. Such waiver requests must be annually submitted to and approved by the Department of Education.

Annually in May
