ACCESS reclassifies students from EL to Reclassified Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) at the point when specialized EL services are deemed no longer needed for ELs to be successful in the general instructional program. This decision is made using the criteria detailed in the chart below. Once students are reclassified, they remain reclassified, or RFEP, on their language status for the rest of their educational careers. The academic progress of these students will be monitored for four consecutive academic years.
