The ELD folder is a cumulative folder that provides meaningful information of a EL student's language development history from initial identification until the end of the FLEP monitoring period. It provides an organized method in which BPS and other stakeholders are able to track and verify documents that are used to meet all Federal and State requirements, and most importantly, to ensure ELs are provided instructional and programmatic supports they need to succeed.

The ELE Student Record Review focuses on a sampling of ELE focus areas and students receiving SEI instruction, Two-Way Immersion instruction, and Transitional Bilingual Education instruction or instruction under other ELE education program models to determine whether required procedures are implemented and services are being provided.
