Failure in EL data collection could result in misappropriation of Title III funds
In a
bulletin to school districts, the Oregon Department of Education, under the direction of Charlene Williams is asking school districts to "double-check all EL data records to confirm that all English Learners scoring proficient on the English Language Proficiency Assessment have an EL exit date and confirming that students who did not score proficient do not have an EL exit date." Incorrect data may cause overpayment to school districts.
According to the
bulletin, "ODE staff determined that a number of students scored proficient on the 2022-23 ELPA Summative assessment but do not have a corresponding EL Exit Date in the Spring EL Data Collection. Students move from current EL status to monitored EL status after scoring proficient on the ELPA summative, the status change is documented in the ODE data servers with the EL Exit Date."
The
bulletin continues,
"Title III allocations are a per student calculation, English learners who are currently receiving EL instruction are included in the allocation calculation. Students who have obtained proficiency on ELPA summative are not current ELs; these students are not included in Title III allocations. Failure to include EL Exit dates for proficient ELs in the EL data collection could result in misappropriation of Title III funds.
"This data is also used for all EL accountability/reporting calculations related to: school district report cards, state report cards, EL legislative reports, and other reports where the English learner data is used.
All districts are requested to double-check all EL data records to confirm that all ELs scoring proficient on ELPA have an EL exit date and confirming that students who did not score proficient do not have an EL exit date.

School districts receive more money for each EL student, which creates a disincentive to report students who become proficient and progress beyond the program.
