Parents' rights and progress tracking under Title III in CCISD
Summary
CCISD reviewed parents' legal protections under Title III Part A — including the right to information in a language they understand, trained interpreters, the right to accept or decline placement, and annual monitoring through the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS).
Presenter told families they have specific federally protected rights: "You have the right to receive school information in a language you understand, and you have access to trained interpreters." The presenter clarified that interpreters should be trained adults, not another student.
Presenter explained annual monitoring and the exit process: "Once a year, your child takes the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System test. This measures their listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English." When a student meets English standards, the school will request parent approval to exit the program.
