English Learner (EL) Program
The purpose of the Title III English Learner (EL) Student Program is to ensure that all EL students attain English proficiency, develop high levels of academic attainment in English, and meet the same challenging state academic standards as all other students. (20 United States Code § 6812.)
When a child enrolls in a CA school and a language other than English is noted on the child’s Home Language Survey, the law requires LEAs (school districts) to assess that child and notify parent/guardian of the child’s proficiency (California Education Code, Sections 313 and 60810).
Barstow Unified School District (BUSD) identifies rigorous goals and objectives for English Learner (EL) students. BUSD works to ensure that EL students acquire full proficiency in English as rapidly and successfully as possible in order to attain parity with native English speakers. The ELPAC identifies four English-language proficiency levels for ELs:

The district’s goal for EL students is to move up one ELPAC level per year until they reach Level 4 and are reclassified as Fluent-English Proficient (FEP).
For additional information regarding BUSD's English Language Learner plan please see the below EL Master Plan.
