The Language and Culture Division (LCD) provides accountability with support to districts that serve students participating in Bilingual Multicultural Education Programs (BMEPs) so that all participating students achieve the program goals as outlined by New Mexico statute and administrative code, which are: (1) students become bilingual and biliterate in English and a second language, and (2) students meet all academic content standards and benchmarks in all subject areas. BMEPs offer a general education experience that is provided in two languages. The purpose of the Bilingual Multicultural Education Programs Annual Report is to comply with state statute and inform stakeholders regarding the state's BMEPs. The LCD actively works to streamline and provide data that can be used in meaningful and purposeful ways. To that aim, the report focuses on these four key areas: (1) reporting data collected on district, school, and student participation; (2) reporting data collected on language proficiency to assess progress on the first goal of BMEPs for students to become bilingual and biliterate; (3) reporting achievement data based on the Istation, New Mexico Measures of Student Success & Achievement (NM-MSSA), and New Mexico Assessment of Science Readiness (NM-ASR), for relevant student groups, to assess progress on the second goal of BMEPs for students to meet all academic content standards; and (4) evaluating and determining program effectiveness and use of funds for BMEPs. The following report provides data from the 2023-2024 school year (SY), including some longitudinal data for comparison over time.
