"School districts are required to implement an identification process to determine if a student is an English Language Learner when a student initially enrolls or reenters a New York State (NYS) public school. The identification process must commence no later than the date of the student’s initial enrollment or reentry in a NYS district. The process must be completed and a determination made within 10 school days of initial enrollment or reentry into a NYS public school after two years."
