Title | Secretary Spellings Announces Final Limited English Proficiency Regulations |
Body | From http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2006/09/09132006a.html September 13, 2006 Today, U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings announced final regulations for Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students. The new Title I Regulation is intended to help recently arrived Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students learn English and other subjects while giving states and local school districts greater flexibility on assessment while continuing to hold them accountable under No Child Left Behind. "Our schools must be prepared to measure what English language learners know and to teach them effectively, with proven instructional methods," said Secretary Spellings. "No Child Left Behind has put the needs of English Language Learners front and center and we must continue that momentum of success. These regulations will ensure states and schools are held accountable for helping children learn English but will also provide them with flexibility in meeting the goal of every child reading and doing math at grade level by 2014."
