English Language Learner Students
On January 7, 2015, the Departments of Education and Justice issued a Dear Colleague Letter which outlined legal obligations to English Learners under civil rights laws. Read the Dear Colleague Letter here.
The English Learner Tool Kit helps state and local education agencies help English Learners (ELs) by fulfilling these obligations. Chapter 6 of the Tool Kit addresses English Language Learners with Disabilities. See the full English Learner Tool Kit here.
