Summary: The current BP and AR 6174 was adopted by the Board on January 9, 2007, which included CST as a standardized measure of academic achievement. This year, in light of the move from CST to SBAC assessment, CDE is not providing academic reports on individual students. Therefore, English Learners will not have one of the measures for reclassification. In order to avoid missed opportunities for reclassification, the state sanctioned local decision in regards to measuring academic skills. In MDUSD a Multi-Tiered approach is recommended to demonstrate academic skills in order to meet reclassification criteria. This new criteria will be in effect until the State Board of Education issues guidance. This slight change to the reclassification criteria is necessary so students can change their status from English Learner to Fluent English Proficient, pending all other criteria has been met.
