Once a parent/guardian has filled out the Home Language Survey, can they go back and change it?
While ELPAC has replaced CELDT, the initial identification process is still the same. If a language other than English was inaccurately included on the HLS, a parent/guardian may update the HLS to accurately reflect the language(s) spoken in the home.
If the Initial ELPAC has been administered, the parent/guardian may request a review of the student's classification as outlined in the ELPAC Regs:
(c) Following the administration of the initial assessment to a pupil, but before the administration of the summative assessment to that pupil, upon request from the pupil’s parent or guardian or a certificated employee of the LEA, an LEA shall collect and review evidence, as described in subdivision (d), about the pupil’s English language proficiency. Based upon its review of the evidence, the LEA shall determine whether the pupil’s classification should remain unchanged or be changed. The LEA shall notify the pupil’s parent or guardian in writing of the results of the review within 14 calendar days of its determination. This review shall occur only once over the course of the pupil’s enrollment in the California public school system.
