The U.S. Department of Education has approved Indiana’s state Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan amendment to adjust Indiana’s criteria for students to exit EL status beginning with the 2024-2025 school year. The change is detailed in the Indiana EL Exit Criteria Change Memo and specific guidance for its implementation in the Indiana EL Exit Criteria Guidance. Both documents are found on IDOE’s English Learning & Migrant Education webpage. IDOE’s EL team will provide technical assistance will via virtual office hours on Thursday, July 25, and Thursday, August 1, at 3 p.m. ET. Details can be found on the EL PD Opportunities Calendar.
