Title: California Poised To Track Long-Term English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/09/19/04ell_ep.h32.html Calif. Poised to Spotlight ELLs Stalled in Schools by Lesli A. Maxwell September 18, 2012 California is poised to become the first state to unmask the extent to which English-language learners languish in public schools for years without ever reaching fluency. Under a measure that received broad, bipartisan support from the legislature, the state education department would be required to break out and report data annually on long-term English-learners—tens of thousands statewide—for every school district. The measure would also create a common, statewide definition for long-term ELL students. Students at risk of becoming long-term ELLs would also be flagged. The legislation is awaiting action from Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, who has until Sept. 28 to decide whether to sign the bill.
