This information is submitted for your review and <br />presentation to the Board of Education at the meeting on August 20, <br />1998. <br />The Chapel Hill- Carrboro City School system has provided services for its <br />Limited English Proficient (LEP) student population for more than twenty <br />years. Over the past ten years, this population of students has increased <br />tremendously in the school district and across North Carolina. With the <br />growing educational needs of the system's LEP student population, the <br />increasing number of languages represented (62 plus), the challenges that <br />educators face in serving this segment of the student population, and the <br />needs of LEP students, the district administration, with School Board <br />support, is submitting a proposal for the establishment of a Task Force on <br />Educational Services for Limited English Proficient Students. <br />This task force will have the responsibility of closely examining the present <br />services offered by the school system for LEP students, considering <br />instructional delivery models and identifying resources. The committee <br />also will receive feedback from the community and educators on the <br />educational needs of LEP students, look at translation needs, review <br />professional development programs and training opportunities for <br />mainstream teachers and administrators, and present its findings and <br />recommendations to members of the Board of Education for consideration <br />and implementation. <br />ff <br />
