NYSED will use these counts to calculate the allocations to LEAs for 2026-2027 ESSA Title III ELL and Immigrant funds.
LEAs work with nonpublic schools to verify the accuracy of ELL counts reported through the IDEx on the Fall 2025 BEDS Online Report Nonpublic form and immigrant counts. Information on how to log into the IDEx can be found here.
LEAs review nonpublic immigrant data reported on the Fall 2025 BEDS Online Report District form through the IDEx. Information on how to log into the IDEx can be found here.
