The Honorable, The Legislature:
This is to inform you that the department will submit the 1999 Annual Report on the Status of Bilingual-Bicultural Education programs, as required under s.
115.96, Wisconsin Statutes, by January 31, 2000. Last year, we moved to an electronic collection of all limited-English proficient (LEP) related data. This year, we needed to make some major changes to the LEP data collection in response to new USDE requirements as well as to address difficulties that arose from the previous year's implementation of the new system. These necessary changes delayed the dissemination of data collection packets until the summer, resulting in the delay of submittal of data by some districts. Staff are working on the database and reporting formats that will allow us to provide the complete report to you by the end of January 2000.
S383
The complete annual report will include details on: the state's administration and funding of bilingual education in Wisconsin and factors contributing to program expansion; the continually lower annual reimbursement rates for school districts; the number of pupils served from minority languages, the locations of the state-aided programs during the 1999 fiscal year (July 1, 1998, through June 30, 1999), and staff-related data.
