		Redesignating English Learners as "Fluent English Proficient"
		The formula for redesignating English learners is complicated. Students must show that they are fluent in English in more than one way; the CELDT is only one factor out of many. Other variables include: Writing (which is measured using the District's writing exam) Reading (which is measured using the total reading score on the STAR-9 exam) and Performance in a mainstreamed English class (which is measured using the student's grade.) Only when all these criteria are met can a student be redesignated. It often happens that a bilingual student was tested in elementary or middle school for fluency and that student never met the criteria for redesignation. If you are not sure whether a student qualifies for redesignation, complete the form below to check.

		"What was your score on the last District Writing Test?"
		"What grade did you get in your last MAINSTREAM English class?"
