17.4a TK English Needs Assessment

During the summer of 2024, the CA State Legislature and Gov. Newsom signed AB 2268 into law. This makes it so TK students do not need to take the Initial ELPAC until their Kindergarten year.

The state guidance recommends that students in TK who have a language other than English are still monitored and receive extra English support.

The Directors of School Support and Testing worked to create a TK English Needs Assessment to be done within 30 days of enrollment. After taking the Needs Assessment, the school will know the best ways to provide additional English support.
