Special Programs participation tracking determines whether (and key info about how) a student "participates" in a given program at any given time based on dates and content of completed documentation for any given student. Below are the documents used to calculate a student's participation in a district's Dual Language program for non-Emergent Bilingual students.
A student is considered "participating" in the district's Dual Language program in SameGoal if they are identified as a Non-EB student electing into a language program with Dual Language Immersion placement, or if an LPAC review continues them as a non-EB student in a language program. This most commonly covers Dual Language Immersion, either as native English speakers in two-way immersion programs or as reclassified former EB students who choose to continue in DLI, but a non-EB student continued in an ESL or transitional bilingual program is tracked here as well. Participation notes (Program, Language program, Parental permission code) included on student program participation badges provide additional information about the specific type of language program.
If a student should be in the Dual Language program and does not display as such in SameGoal, inspect the table below. The student requires completed documentation that changes their participation status to "Participating". Conversely, if a student should NOT be in the Dual Language program but does appear to participate in SameGoal, inspect the table below to identify documentation that should be added to change the student's status to "Not participating".
