The English Learners (EL) tools allow schools and districts to manage student EL programs, assessments, services, and accommodations. The EL tab provides a central location for managing EL information such as the date the student was identified as EL, when the student entered/exited an EL program, when the student is expected to leave an EL program and First Year/Second Year Monitoring data. For students who exited and/or re-entered an EL program, an historical record is kept and displayed on the tab which can be viewed in both State and District Editions of Infinite Campus.
Some fields in the EL tab are specific to your state. All other fields in the EL tab do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required and data entry in these fields is necessary. For more information on these fields, see the English Learners (EL) article.

Service Type
Bilingual Service Type codes indicate whether the student is participating in a state-approved bilingual education program which is a full-time program of dual-language instruction through the TEKS in the content areas (mathematics, science, health, and social studies) in the primary language of Limited English Proficient (LEP) students and also for carefully structured and sequenced mastery of English cognitive academic language development.
ESL Service Type codes indicate whether the student is participating in a state-approved English as a Second Language (ESL) program. An ESL program in grades PK–8 is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers either certified or endorsed in ESL who use second language acquisition information to teach LEP students the ESL TEKS. An ESL program in grades 9–12 is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers trained in recognizing and dealing with language differences.
Bilingual/ESL Summer School codes indicate whether the student participated in the Bilingual/ESL Summer School program. To be eligible for enrollment in the Bilingual/ESL Summer Program, a student must be Limited English Proficient (LEP) and must be eligible for admission to kindergarten or first grade at the beginning of the next school year. LEP shall be determined by screening students using oral proficiency instruments approved by the Commissioner of Education.

Transitional Bilingual Early Exit
A bilingual program that serves students identified as students of limited English proficiency in both English and Spanish, or another language, and transfers students to English-only instruction. It provides instruction in literacy and academic content areas through the medium of the student’s first language, along with instruction in English oral and academic language development. Non-academic subjects such as art, music, and physical education may also be taught in English. Exiting to an all English program of instruction will occur not earlier than the end of first grade, or if the student enrolls in school during or after first grade, the student will remain in the program for a minimum of two to five years before being eligible to exit the bilingual program. Students who have met exit criteria may continue receiving services but the school district will not be allocated the bilingual allotment. Students who are proficient in English may also be served in this program only with appropriate parental permission, but are not eligible for Bilingual Program allotment. See your state documentation for more information.

Transitional Bilingual Late Exit
A bilingual program that serves students identified as students of limited English proficiency in both English and Spanish, or another language, and transfers a student to English-only instruction; academic growth is accelerated through cognitively challenging academic work in the student’s first language along with meaningful academic content taught through the student’s second language, English. The goal is to promote high levels of academic achievement and full academic language proficiency in the student’s first language and English. Students enrolled in the transitional bilingual/late exit program are eligible to exit the program not earlier than six or later than seven years after the students enroll in school. Students who have met exit criteria may continue receiving services but the school district will not be allocated the bilingual allotment.
