Home Language Survey

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VI - Language Minority Compliance Procedures, requires that school districts/charter schools identify limited English proficient (LEP) students. PDE selected the Home Language Survey as the method of identification.

  • The school district/charter school has the responsibility under the federal law to serve students who are limited English proficient and need English instructional services. Given this responsibility, the school district/charter school has the right to ask for the information it needs to identify English Language Learners (ELLs). As part of the responsibility to locate and identify ELLs, the school district/charter school may conduct screenings or ask for related information about students who are already enrolled in the district as well as from students who enroll in the school district/charter school in the future.

  • Select the school that your child attends.

  • Be sure to include your street address, city, state, and zip code.

  • Do not include languages learned in school.

  • Please list any and all languages that are spoken within your home.
