Title III-Enrolled Student Participation in Language Instruction Educational Program

In SY 2018–19, student counts were unduplicated, meaning each student could only be reported as participating in one Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP). In SY 2019–20 and beyond, students could be reported as participating in multiple LIEPs, therefore, percentages may exceed 100%.
