An EB student may not be reclassified as English proficient in prekindergarten or Kindergarten as per Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §89 . 1226(j) . The language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC) will recommend that reclassified students exit bilingual or English as a second language (ESL) program services or continue participation if in a dual language immersion (DLI) bilingual program. Parental approval for exit or continuation in the program beyond reclassification must be obtained.  \nImportant:  \n• All emergent bilingual students that receive designated supports for English reading language arts, English I, or English II assessments recommended by the LPAC or other committees will be eligible for reclassification at the end of the school year if the data demonstrates that the student continues linguistic and academic progress and will be able to participate in an all English instruction with no linguistic supports per TAC, §89 .1226(i) .  \n• For an EB student who is deaf/hard of hearing (DHH) and exempt from participating in the listening and/or speaking domains of TELPAS due to the inability to perform these components of the exam, the decision to reclassify as English proficient should be based on the information from the remaining components of the state criteria for reclassification.  \n• For an EB student who is blind/visually impaired (VI), braille versions of the TELPAS Reading test will be available and can be provided to an eligible student based on a decision of the ARD committee in conjunction with the LPAC. If the student is not eligible for a braille version of TELPAS Reading and is exempt from participating in the reading domain of TELPAS due to the inability to perform this component of the exam based on the student's disability, the decision to reclassify as English proficient should be based on the information from the remaining components of the state criteria for reclassification.  \n• For an EB student with most significant cognitive disabilities, the LPAC and ARD committee in collaboration may determine that the state’s English language proficiency assessment for reclassification isnot appropriate because of the nature of the student’s disabling condition.  \n• The LPAC shall monitor the academic progress of each student, including any student who previously had a parental denial of program participation, who has met reclassification criteria in accordance with TEC, §29 .056(g), during the first two years after reclassification per TAC, §89 . 1220(k) .  \n\n| Grade(s) | 1st/2nd | 3rd through 8th | 9th | 10th | 11th | 12th |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| English Language Proficiency Assessment | Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS)\u003Cbr>A Composite Score of Advanced High |  |  |  |  |  |\n| State Standardized Reading Assessment | TEA Approved Norm-Referenced Standardized Achievement Test:\u003Cbr>Iowa, Form F\u003Cbr>Reading and Language 40th percentile or above on each | STAAR Reading (English)*\u003Cbr>STAAR English I EOC*\u003Cbr>STAAR English II EOC*\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>*Satisfactory performance on STAAR Reading/English EOC includes Approaches, Meets, and Masters Grade Level performance levels. |  |  | TEA Approved Norm-Referenced Standardized Achievement Test:\u003Cbr>Iowa, Form F\u003Cbr>Reading and Written Expression 40th percentile or above on each |  |\n| Subjective Teacher Evaluation | Form: Subjective Teacher(s) Evaluation / ALTERNATIVE Subjective Teacher(s) Evaluation |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nResources:  \nState Assessments for Emergent Bilingual Students  \nLPAC Guidance: EOY Proce","cbCaiuLSA5z8Uyte","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuLSA5z8Uyte","pdf",984585,"English","# Reclassification eligibility and process\n## Assessment requirements by grade band\n## Special considerations (DHH, VI, cognitive disabilities)\n## Post-reclassification monitoring","[{\"question\":\"When may a district reclassify an emergent bilingual (EB) student as English proficient?\",\"answer\":\"At the end of the school year, if the student demonstrates grade-level content mastery and meets satisfactory performance requirements in the assessment areas listed, along with subjective teacher evaluation using the state form and LPAC recommendation.\"},{\"question\":\"Can an EB student be reclassified as English proficient in prekindergarten or kindergarten?\",\"answer\":\"No. The document states that an EB student may not be reclassified as English proficient in prekindergarten or kindergarten under the cited Texas Administrative Code.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens after a student is reclassified?\",\"answer\":\"The LPAC monitors each student’s academic progress, including students with a prior parental denial of program participation, during the first two years after reclassification per the referenced Texas Education Code and TAC.\"}]","EMERGENT BILINGUAL STUDENT RECLASSIFICATION CRITERIA CHART | PDF",1790973860]
