At the EL Institute, presenters walked districts through the identification sequence—home language survey, family interview, proficiency screener and notification—stressing that screening must occur within 30 days of enrollment and that teachers should receive score printouts.

The board adopted revisions to policy JHCCF to clarify screening procedures and staff training, and received a first reading of a new immigration liaison policy aligning with recent state bills and attorney general guidance; adoption of the immigration policy is required by Sept. 30.
