EXTENDED: 2021-2022 ELP Annual Assessment Window

To provide LEAs the greatest amount of flexibility, the 2021-2022 ELP annual assessment window has been extended through April 8.

The Office of English Language Proficiency recognizes the challenges that might have delayed testing and is extending the ELP annual assessment window to accommodate LEAs in ensuring that every English Learner has the opportunity to be assessed. Although extra time has been granted, LEAs are encouraged to ensure the greatest number of EL students possible complete the ELP annual assessment prior to the original March 24 close date. 

As a result of this extension, the following dates have been modified.
