Dear Colleague Letter on the Rights of All Children to Enroll in Public Schools
Under federal law, all children in the United States are entitled to a public elementary and secondary education regardless of their race, color, national origin, citizenship, or immigration status or the status of their parents/guardians. The Department of Justice and the Department of Education recently sent a letter to all public school districts reminding them of their obligation under federal law to provide equal educational opportunities to all children residing in their districts, and to offer assistance to ensure they are complying with the law. The letter and translations into various languages are located at the following sites.

Massachusetts Association for Bilingual Education (MABE) is supporting the Office of English Language Education and Academic Achievement (OELAAA) and Special Education Policy and Planning (SEPP) in developing a guidance document of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) concerning English Language Learners (ELL) and Students with disabilities (SWD). This document represents the answers to a collection of the most common questions gathered from constituents in the field. The FAQ is an effort designed to respond to the needs of those working with English Language Learners (ELL) with or without disabilities.
In Spring 2012, MABE will co-facilitate several opportunities to review and discuss the answers to the FAQ. You will be notified of these upcoming opportunities as plans are finalized.
We encourage you to share with colleagues the attached document listing highlights on important research from Improving Educational Outcomes of English Language Learners in Schools and Programs in Boston Public Schools, by Miren Uriarte, Faye Karp, Laurie Gagnon, Rosann Tung, Sarah Rustan, Jie Chen, Michael Berardino and Pamela Stazesky with Eileen de los Reyes and Antonieta Bolomey, Gaston Institute, November 2011 read more ...
