Please see below for the CDE response regarding parent notification of language acquisition programs. 

Question

As per the Ed.G.E FAQ, LEAs are required to provide information to parents or legal guardians on the types of language and language acquisition programs available in the district in the parent handbook or upon enrollment. Are LEAs only required to provide information on what they offer OR do they have to list what options are available in general? 

Also, In both the Initial Parent Notification letter and the Annual Parent Notification, are LEAs required to provide descriptions of the language acquisition programs they currently offer OR do they have to list what options are available in general? 

CDE Response

"In response to both questions, the LEA includes the programs that are offered in both types of parent notifications. They are not required to include additional program information."
