It Is The LawWithin weeks of the Lau v. Nichols ruling, Congress passed the Equal Educational Opportunity Act (EEOA)mandating that no state shall deny equal education opportunity to any individual, “by the failure by aneducational agency to take appropriate action to overcome language barriers that impede equal participation bystudents in an instructional program.”The U.S. Department of Education’s OCR oversees school districts’ broad discretion concerning how to ensure equaleducational opportunity for ELLs. The following guidelines have been outlined for school districts to ensurethat their programs are serving ELLs effectively.Districts should:Identify students as potential ELLs;Assess student’s need for ELL services;Develop a program which, in the view of experts in the field, has a reasonable chance for success;Ensure that necessary staff, curricular materials, and facilities are in place and used properly;Develop appropriate evaluation standards, including program exit criteria, for measuring the progress of students;andAssess the success of the program and modify it where needed.For additional information regarding the provision of equal education opportunity to ELLs, contact the Office forCivil Rights enforcement office at:Phone: (800) 421-3481E-mail: ocr@ed.govURL: http://ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/
