What happens after  reclassification?

• A Dual Language student no longer requires the EB code, but will remain in the program.
   
• An ESL student no longer requires the EB code or instruction by an ESL certified teacher.
   
• Both Dual language and ESL students who reclassify are monitored for two years.
