NEW: Good Cause Exemption Documentation Template for ELs

A new fillable Good Cause Exemption (GCE) documentation template for English learners is available to support the transition from IILP to IDOE Special Programs following the summer retest. While use of this form is optional, it is available to streamline documentation during this transition. To use the form:

• Download and open it in a PDF editor.

• Complete a separate form for each student for whom a GCE meeting is held.

• Maintain documentation and upload the completed forms to IDOE Special Programs once the system is live.

Contact IDOE’s Office of English Learning and Migrant Education with any questions.
