After a student has successfully met the exit criteria established in WVBE Policy 2417, LEAs must monitor the academic progress of the former EL for a period of two years. Note that reporting requirements in ESEA as amended by ESSA extends the reporting of academic progress for 4 years after a student has exited EL status. The West Virginia Department of Education does not prescribe a specific monitoring form or process. The monitoring process is intended to ensure that a student is able to meet the state’s academic standards and meaningfully participate in the instructional program comparable to their never EL peers. If through the monitoring process an exited EL is not progressing academically as expected, a process for re-entry may be considered. Using data and evidence gathered through the monitoring process, an EL SAT/EL Committee team consisting of content teachers, EL specialists, and the child’s parent or guardian, may initiate the process for re-entry. The decision to initiate the re-entry must be based on academic performance and must be attributable to the child’s English language development. The statewide screener used for initial identification should be re-administered and will serve as a valid, reliable, and grade-appropriate ELP assessment for reclassification. If the ELP assessment qualifies a student for El services, the practices identified within the entrance procedures of this document will be followed again until the child successfully meets the established exit criteria. The LEA should document the reasons why a student has been reentered into EL services including documentation of parental consent.
