Title III and Nebraska Rule 15 require that "The school district shall notify the parent, or guardian, or other person enrolling the student that the student qualifies for services..." (Rule 15 003.04). Our consortium drafted a letter in the spring of 2017 and commissioned translations in various languages. ESU 4 Consortium districts may use this letter to fulfill the requirements of Rule 15 and Title III.
Important Note:
TransAct Parent Notices, available without cost to Nebraska districts, is currently the recommended option for communicating EL program placement and many other topics with families. The TransAct letters are updated to remain ESSA compliant. For information, visit https://www.education.ne.gov/natlorigin/transact/.
