LEP Identification versus ESL Services…
LEP Identification is used for accountability purposes; based solely on IPT score.
A student exits LEP identification when he or she has scored “Superior” on all three domains of the IPT during the same test administration.
At that time, the student is no longer identified as LEP and is no longer eligible to receive testing accommodations.
ESL Services are determined at the school level; based on multiple criteria.
