15 ELL Identification Current CR Part 154 New CR Part 154 Administer Home Language Identification Survey to new DOE admits only in grades K to 12 Determine home language based on HLIS results, which include an interview with the student and parent. Administer the NYSITELL to all students whose home language is not English to determine ELL status Administer Home Language Identification Survey to new NYS admits in grades K to 12 as well as those who have not been in a NYS public school for 2 or more years. Students who have not been in a NYC or NYS public school for 2 or more continuous years are eligible to go through ELL identification process again. Determine home language based on HLIS results, which include an interview with the student and parent in the language of preference (mandated in CR Part 154). Administer the NYSITELL to only those students whose home language is not English and eligible for the NYSITELL. (A more in-depth interview and review of work will be conducted to determine NYSITELL-eligibility.) Parent, student (over 18) may request a re-identification process/review within 45 days of enrollment. SIFE status will need to be determined within 12 months of enrollment. However, NYC will require that an initial determination be made within 30 days of enrollment, which can be modified up to 12 months of initial enrollment. SIFE also consists of interrupted and/or inconsistent education Once a SIFE scores at transitioning/intermediate level on the NYSESLAT, SIFE status is removed. Schools must form a language proficiency team for students entering NYS public schools with an IEP to determine if the student has language acquisition needs and should take the NYSITELL (prior: no special procedure for SWDs) 15

ELL is placed within ELL program within 10 days but parent (or student 18 or older) can appeal within 45 days. Parents and students have right to a re-identification process within 45 days of initial enrollment. Copies of parent ELL notifications and letters must be kept in students cumulative folders.
