Many parents of LEP/ESL students desire theirstudents to remain at the base school, even though ESL services maybe indicated through scores received on the IPT, the state test of Englishlanguage ability. When a school does not offer ESL services, parentsoften decline the service at the ESL base school.All LEP/ESL students by law require English language support toaccess the North Carolina Standard Course of Study at a level they canunderstand.Legal Implications (if any):Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) LEP students are required to receivethe Standard Course of Study at the same time they are learning English.In order to meet this standard, every school must be involved in theeducation of limited English profi cient students.Total ESL sites: 15250.00 $304,169 FederalTotal: 84.00 $511,004Expected Effect on Goal 2008:• Improve test scores for Limited English Profi ciency (LEP) students -both Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for LEPs and Annual Measureof Achievement Objectives (AMAO) for LEPs• Provide for the needs of linguistically diverse learners at base schools,K-12• Better management of IPT (the state test of English language ability)assessment and documentation of limited English profi cient (LEP)students required under No Child Left Behind (NCLB)• Increase LEP parent participation as required by NCLB• Decrease time on bus for LEP/ESL students and potential decrease intransportation costs299 FY 2007-08 Plan for Student Success
