After being exited from the ELL program, the student must be monitored 4x over 2 years; the 1st time is at the student’s first report card after being exited, then semi-annually for the 1st year after being exited, and finally, at the end of the 2nd year. The dates of these monitoring events must be documented. 

Districts vary in Monitoring code from A-D to 1-4. Regardless of the codes, they all represent the same information of monitoring the student for proficiency.

If at the end of the 3rd calendar year of eligibility (based on the ORIGINAL date of enrollment  into any ESOL program in any Florida school) it is determined during the annual evaluation that the student needs to continue receiving services (students may receive up to a 6th year of additional FEFP funded ESOL services).

12 FTE periods, or 6 years. All students who are reported as ELL and under the ESOL FEFP Program Number (130) must be receiving instruction by appropriately qualified personnel using ESOL and/or home language strategies.

They can remain LY after 6 years, but cannot claim 130 funding for the student.

On the administration level, the form and LEP info must be set. In addition the parts must be set up with the correct subject code in Standardized Test Setup.

Student that are coded B, C, D, E and F need two measures. These are only valid for student that exit prior to the 2012 CELLA.

If the 3 questions were the same and the results are available to the new school, then that date should be used. If the current school does not have access to the original HLS, then the student should be re-surveyed.

Districts do this differently, some districts ask the HLS questions and use their own date as the new date, when in theory, it should be the earliest one in FL.

The student has been exited from the ESOL program as an {LF} and during the 2 year follow-up monitoring period, it is determined the student requires the services of the ESOL program and is reclassified as an {LY} student.

The same student would receive a reclass exit date upon being exited from the ESOL program a second time. The before code would be {LY} and the after code would be.

For ELL students classified as LY

Courses receiving the FEFP of 130 should be:

• ESOL instruction course
• Language Arts/English course using ESOL models of instruction
• ESOL electives at the secondary level using ESOL strategies
• Math, Science, Social Studies and Computer Literacy courses that are ESOL courses (only have ESOL students) or use Home Language Instruction/ESOL Strategies
• There is an appendix DD at the DOE that lists the courses and Focus stores this table in the Focus DB for reference
• The additional schedule field that needs to be set is the Instructional Model

If they teach the primary English/Language Arts/Intensive Reading or ESOL Language Arts to ELL students and are not ESOL endorsed or certified. This includes ESE teachers if they teach these courses and have an ELL/ESE student in their class(es) whose IEP denotes support/instruction in one of those areas.

The state reporting format is Teacher Course extract.

Home language Survey Questions, Home language Survey Date, ELL Status, Basis of Entry, DEUSS Date, ELL Entry Date, Classification Date, Student Plan Date, ELL Program Participant, ELL Fund Source, Re-Evaluation Date, Extension of Instruction, ELL Exit Date, Basis of Exit, Reclassification Date, Reclassification Exit Date, Test History, Schedule with Instructional Model

Is a language other than English used at home?

Did the student have a first language other than English?

Does the student most frequently speak a language other than English?

The date and results of the HLS are pulled for state reporting.  If the student answer is Yes for any one question, the student is tested for ELL placement.

After successfully completing the 2 years of LF with follow-up monitoring periods without having been reclassified as ELL.
