CHAPEL HILL - CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS <br />Lincoln Center, Merritt Mill Road <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27515 <br />Telephone_ (919) 967 -8211 <br />Fax (919) 933 -4550 <br />Nell G. Pedersen Ann Y. Hart, Assistant Superintendent <br />Superintendent for Instructional Services <br />Chester F. Preyar, Assistant Superintendent <br />for Support Services <br />To: Neil Pedersen <br />Superintendent <br />From: Ann Hart 01V� <br />Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services <br />Re: Recommendations of Task Force on Educational Services for <br />Limited English Proficient (LEP) Students <br />Date: January 27, 1999 <br />Accompanying this memorandum are the recommendations of the Chapel Hill - <br />Carrboro City Schools Task Force on Educational Services for Limited English <br />Proficient (LEP) Students. The budget for the LEP Task Force recommendations <br />was not included in the Task Force's report to the Board on January 14, 1999. <br />This complete report is submitted for your review and presentation to the Board <br />of Education at the meeting of February 4, 1999. <br />The proposed timeline and cost estimates of recommendations in this report are <br />prioritized over a three year period according to the greatest needs for <br />improving educational services to our LEP student and their families. The <br />timeline also reflects the immediate implementation of recommendations that. <br />either have a minimal cost or no cost to the school system to implement during <br />the 1998 -99 school year (i.e., development of guidelines for registering and <br />identifying LEP students, establishing a six to seven - member oversight <br />committee to monitor implementation of recommendations). Additionally, the <br />cost estimates show evidence of efforts to closely review current budgets in the <br />Instructional Services Division to cover cost of implementing some action items <br />(i.e., translation and interpreting services, annual parent and student events, <br />coordination with community agencies). <br />Finally, the three -year budget projections represent realistic assessments of <br />services that will move the school system forward in adequately and <br />appropriately addressing the needs of LEP students and their families. <br />
