English Language Learner (ELL) Identification and Placement for Recently Arrived Children and Youth

This memorandum announces an available flexibility in the ELL identification and placement timeline for Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that have been impacted by the influx of asylum seekers and other recently arrived students. This flexibility will extend the timeline (i.e., the deadline for administering the NYSITELL) from 10 school days to 30 school days. 

In order to claim this flexibility, LEAs must submit a form affirming the arrival of these students in their communities and providing information about these students and their previous ELL population. Once submitted the district may begin to use the flexibility; there will not be a review period required for approval. Superintendents and charter school leaders can access this form through the SED Business Portal.  

Further questions regarding LEA eligibility or any other aspect of the ELL identification timeline waiver can contact the Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages at obewl@nysed.gov.
