Section F – Reclassification of English Language Learners with Disabilities Reclassification/Redesignation is the process used by districts/LEAs to determine whether an EL student has acquired sufficient English skills to successfully access curriculum being delivered without English development support. When EL students demonstrate that they can compete effectively or are commensurate with English-speaking peers, they are then reclassified as fluent English speakers (RFEP). The reclassification process in public schools in California is based on guidelines approved by the State Board of Education (SBE) and is based on California EC Section 313(d). The reclassification guidelines utilize multiple criteria in determining whether to reclassify a student as being proficient in English.

LEAs shall use the overall Proficiency Level 4 as the determination that a student has met the ELP assessment criterion. • The Summative Alternate ELPAC is the state test for ELP for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. LEAs shall use Summative Alternate ELPAC Overall PL 3 (Fluent English Proficient) as the Alternate ELP criterion. 2. Teacher evaluation, including, but not limited to, a review of the student’s curriculum mastery; • The CDE has developed a standardized resource for this criterion. Designed to promote equity in the reclassification process, the Observation Protocol for Teachers of English Learners (OPTEL) is an observation protocol designed to
