Students who are not an ESOL center should have a Waiver of ESOL Services in their cumulative file.  If they do not: Contact the student's family and ensure that the family understands that there are no ESOL services available at the child's school. Once the family understands, either send a waiver of services home (file a copy in the cumulative folder with the date the document was sent) or facilitate the student's transfer to the appropriate ESOL center.   Consider using a document like this one to organize your compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions What should the ESOL teacher do when a family indicates that they would like to waive ESOL services? Contact Angela or Xiang to get a code for Language Line. Use Language Line to contact the family and confirm that they understand the implications of waiving ESOL services. What will happen during Conference Days in terms of interpretation services? The school will contact Angela or Xiang to assist in assigning an interpreter for conference days.  The ESOL teacher is not responsible for arranging for interpreters. What is the FSL's role in Special Education? FSLs no longer participate in Team Meetings.  An ESOL teacher should participate in Team Meetings for English Learners with whom they work. FSLs may only do informal native language assessments for students who speak a language that they speak.
