LEP Students in NC IA Approximately 100,000 LEP students North Carolina has seen a tremendous growth in the number of LEP students. The graph shows a small decline in numbers between the 08-09 and 09-10 school years due mostly to economic impact. The NC DPI has developed the Federal Data Collection (FDC) site and conducted a data clean up process which may have also led to the decline in numbers. 99 out of 159 charters have LEP Students as of September 2014. 13-14 97,283, 12-13 100,385, 11-12 104, 679, 10-11 107,303, 09-10 111,925, 08-09 118,573, 07-08 112,534, 06-07 96,725, 05-06 83,627, 04-05 78,395, 03-04 70,912, 02-03 60,149

Rationale The U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) Student Achievement and School Accountability Programs (SASA) office, Title III State Consolidated Grant Group monitored the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) the week of October 24-27, 2011. This was a comprehensive review of NCDPI’s administration of Title III, Part A, authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended. As a result of this monitoring visit, NCDPI is collecting each LEA/Charter’s Language Instruction Education Programs (LIEP) information.
