Compensatory Services. The District will offer compensatory services to any student who was enrolled at the Newcomer Academy during the 2023-24 school year, and who was not offered a period of standalone ESL prior to May 1, 2024. The District will offer each student compensatory services in an amount at least equal to the number of hours of ESL the student would have been offered if they had received a daily period of ESL while in the program. The District may credit hours of ESL actually provided to an eligible student during the 2024 summer school session against the total owed to that student, if the District adequately demonstrates to the United States that the student received ESL as defined by this Agreement. The District will ensure that students have the option to receive the compensatory services in the form of academic tutoring or in a classroom setting. Compensatory services will be offered at multiple times to accommodate various student schedules. Within 60 days of the effective date of this Agreement, the District will make good faith efforts to meet individually with students and their parent/guardian if they are under 18, and, in the preferred language of the student and/or parent/guardian, provide notice of the availability of the compensatory services, an explanation of why the services are being offered, and a discussion of the student’s options, based on their circumstances and preferences, for receiving the services.
