The U.S. Department of Education has released more information on enrolling new immigrant students. This new resource, Fact Sheet II: Additional Questions & Answers Enrolling New Immigrant Students (http://www2.ed.gov/policy/rights/guid/unaccompanied-children-2.pdf), reviews procedures for districts enrolling Title III immigrant students. It is a supplement to the previously released Fact Sheet: Educational Services for Immigrant Students and Those Recently Arrived to the United States (http://www2.ed.gov/policy/rights/guid/unaccompanied-children.html), published in August to help institutions address the needs of unaccompanied and other new immigrant youth. Read more about the context for these two fact sheets, and the fact sheets themselves, at the Department website page devoted to unaccompanied youth: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/rights/guid/unaccompanied-children.html
