EL PROGRAM Monitoring

Any LEA (Local Education Agency; district or charter) who currently has ELs enrolled in their district or charter may be selected for EL Program Monitoring. LEA selection for EL Program Monitoring is grounded in ARS 15-756.08. Outside of the top 50 LEAs with the highest enrollment of ELs (about 12 each year), an additional 20-25 LEAs are randomly selected (according to the legal requirements) to be monitored. The Office of English Language Acquisition Services (OELAS) initially monitors about 30-35 LEAs each year.

If your LEA (Local Education Agency; district or charter) is being Program Monitored for the 2024-2025 school year, all notifications will be sent to applicable LEAs.

If you do not receive a notification letter by October 24, 2024, your district or charter is not assigned to the 2024-2025 cycle of monitoring.
