Each English learner expected trajectory to proficiency will be determined as follows. 1. The initial proficiency level for each English learner will be determined based on the ELPT or ELPT Connect assessment results from the school year in which the student was first enrolled in a Louisiana public school and participated in the ELPT assessment.2. If a student exits the United States for one or more school years following the initial ELPT or ELPT Connect assessment and later reenrolls in Louisiana, the student will be considered a new student for the purpose of determining the initial proficiency level.3.
