| Title | Proposed Ammendment to Title I of NCLB |
| Body | Federal Register: June 24, 2004 (Volume 69, Number 121) [Proposed Rules] [Page 35461-35465] DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 34 CFR Part 200, RIN 1820-AB55 Title I--Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged AGENCY: Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: The Secretary proposes to amend the regulations governing programs administered under Part A of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA). These proposed regulations would implement statutory provisions regarding State, local educational agency (LEA), and school accountability for the academic achievement of limited English proficient (LEP) students and are needed to implement changes to Title I of the ESEA made by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB Act). These proposed regulations are designed to provide State educational agencies (SEAs) with expanded flexibility in assessing LEP students against State content standards and in counting the performance of LEP students as a group in measuring whether a school and LEA are meeting adequate yearly progress (AYP) goals. Specifically, the proposed regulations would allow a State to exempt "recently arrived'' LEP students from one administration of the State's reading/language arts assessment. Recently arrived students are students with limited English proficiency who have attended schools in the United States (not including Puerto Rico) for less than 10 months before the test is administered. In addition, the proposed regulations would allow a State not to count in AYP determinations the scores of the recently arrived students who do take the reading/language arts and the mathematics assessments during that period. DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 9, 2004. ADDRESSES: Address all comments about these proposed regulations to Jacquelyn C. Jackson, Ed.D., Acting Director, Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 3W230, FB-6, Washington, DC 20202-6132. The Fax number for submitting comments is (202) 260-7764. If you prefer to send your comments through the Internet, you may address them to the U.S. Government Web site: http://www.regulations.gov |
