SIRS 109

The SIRS-109 Recently Arrived ELL Students Accountability Report allows districts and schools to review counts of recently arrived English Language Learner (ELL) students who took the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) in lieu of the New York State Testing Program (NYSTP) test in English language arts (ELA) to fulfill the testing requirement in English in grades 3 through 8 for making elementary/middle-level accountability determinations under New York State’s State Plan to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). 

This report does not need to be certified; however, it should be reviewed for accuracy. The underlying data used to create this report are in the SIRS-302 Tested/Not Tested Confirmation All Assessments Report, which is required to be certified. Students are included in the report if they are reported with both an 0231 (ELL Eligible) and an 0242 (Eligible to Take the NYSESLAT for Grades 3-8 ELA Accountability) program service codes.
