Bilingual/ESL (Title III)
The 2008-2009 Framework for the LPAC Process
"The Framework for the LPAC Process manual includes clarification of the legal requirements for LPACs, and provides documents and forms to facilitate the training of LPAC members. The forms included with the manual are for use by districts and are not required forms for the implementation of a Bilingual/ESL program. This manual integrates state and federal Title III of Public Law 107-110 (No Child Left Behind), requirements regarding the identification, program placement, parent notification, annual review, and assessment of English language learners as they attain language and academic proficiency."
