Must academic intervention services be provided to English language learners?
English language learners must have access to AIS in the same manner as general education students, that is, by scoring below the designated performance level on state assessments or through the district procedures described in its AIS plan. Academic intervention services for English language learners must be supplementary and “in addition to” and must not replace the bi-lingual and free standing ESL program requirements under Commissioner’s Regulations Part 154 services. AIS must be planned and implemented in coordination with the ELL student’s general education program.
