Board approves annual Language Instruction Education Program handbook
Summary
The board approved the district's annual Language Instruction Education Program (LEAP) handbook, which instructional committee recommended; staff noted a brief pamphlet summary in two languages will be distributed across buildings.
The Worthington School Board approved the district's annual update to the Language Instruction Education Program (LEAP) handbook, a document the district must present to the state.
"Sue did share a little pamphlet in two different languages that I hadn't seen before," a board member said, noting the pamphlet provides a brief overview of the handbook and will be placed in district buildings. Instructional committee recommended approval in advance of the board meeting; Sue Hagen, the presenter to that committee, was not available for tonight's meeting.
Why it matters: the LEAP handbook outlines language-instruction approaches the district uses to support English learners and is an annual state-required submission when updated.
Vote: The board moved, seconded and approved the Language Instruction Education Program handbook; the motion passed by voice vote.
Provenance: The item began when staff introduced the handbook in the instructional agenda and concluded with the board's vote approving the handbook.
