Yes. There is no stipulation that a student speaks English in order to register or get placed in Metco. To deny a placement based on language proficiency would be a civil rights violation. If an LEP student enrolls in a Metco program and has low English proficiency, it is the receiving school district’s responsibility to ensure that initial language assessment and adequate language support are provided.
