[quote=Anonymous]civil rights groups support of the changes for English language learners. https://www.townhall.virginia.gov/L/viewcomments.cfm?commentid=226985 As Virginia works to unify their bifurcated state accountability systems into a single system aligned with federal requirements under ESSA, the state has wisely proposed that the single system will follow the 3 semester exclusion requirements—a move that we strongly endorse. By the state’s own estimation, this change will allow for the performance of an additional 35,000 students to be included in school academic ratings statewide. While school and district leaders may be concerned that these changes could dramatically change how they are rated, this increase in the number of ELs whose performance is “seen” by Virginia’s accountability system prevents schools from masking the underperformance of ELs and will ultimately enable the VDOE to better support ELs. By more accurately identifying schools that need additional resources and support to address the needs of ELs, state, district and school leaders can more effectively support the unique needs of ELs. Given this, we believe it is imperative that the Virginia State Board of Education approve this change proposed by VDOE. [/quote]
