STUDENT RIGHTS

By Illinois state law, a student has the right to bilingual services,

if the student’s home or native language is other than

English AND he/she qualifies for it.

To determine if a student qualifies, he/she needs to take an English

proficiency test.

If the student is not proficient in Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing

in English, he/she is eligible.

Parents at that time may choose bilingual support services
