Funding and Providing English Learner Supports in an Open Doors Program
English learners in an Open Doors program are entitled to the Transitional Bilingual Instruction Program (TBIP) services. To comply with state and federal laws, the following must be met for English learners enrolled in Open Doors programs, regardless of whether the school district receives Transitional Bilingual Instruction Program (TBIP) or Title III funding:
- Identify all English learners, including those with disabilities
- Provide all English learners with appropriate and effective English language development services
- Ensure that qualified staff provide English language development services
