This report examines the number of SEAs that provide guidance in collecting and using students’ prior education experiences in initial enrollment, as well as the specificity of the guidance that SEAs provide. To understand the existence and specificity of the guidance, this report is informed by a comprehensive review of the documents, publicly available, on all fifty SEA websites that provide guidance on enrolling and serving multilingual and immigrant students. This includes the SEA’s Title III guidance documents that articulate procedures for identifying students who need English language supports, serving English learner classified students, and exiting students from English learner services, as well as all other documents focused on newcomer students.
