WDE684 ERROR CORRECTION DEADLINE

WDE684 Errors in Districts due Friday, July 10

Communication about WDE684 data errors was sent to districts earlier this week. Error reports were created because information provided by districts was not accurate and must be corrected. This data collection is required by the US Department of Justice to identify and assess a student’s English Language Proficiency (ELP) in order to provide appropriate  language assistance services.

For more information, contact Antoinette Hallam, WDE EL Consultant, at 307-777-5217 or antoinette.hallam@wyo.gov.
