Under Section 115.996, Wisconsin Statutes, the state superintendent is required to report to the legislature on the status of bilingual-bicultural education programs funded under this authority. This report provides the specific information required by law for the 2023-24 school year (paid during FY 2025). Chapter 115, Subchapter VII, Wisconsin Statutes provides partial, yet critical, funding for English Learner (EL) students in the state whose language education needs must be met by the districts in which they are enrolled. It is the only state funding source for students classified as English Learners and supports districts in providing instructional services that foster language proficiency development and leverage students' linguistic assets for academic learning. It should be noted this report will use the term English Learner (EL) rather than Limited English Proficient student, the term used in state statute. This follows the precedent set in the reauthorization of ESEA, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act.
