§ 20-30-9-8 — Placement of children in programs

(a) Students whose dominant language is
English shall be allowed to participate in the bilingual-bicultural
program unless their participation will hinder the progress of the
non-English dominant students.
(b) Students enrolled in a program of bilingual-bicultural education
shall, if graded classes are used, be placed, to the extent practicable, in
classes with students of approximately the same age and level of
educational attainment, as determined after considering the attainment
through the use of all necessary languages.
(c) If students of significantly varying ages or levels of educational
attainment are placed in the same class, the program of
bilingual-bicultural education must seek to ensure that each student is
provided with instruction appropriate for the student's level of
educational attainment. The ultimate objective is to place the
bilingual-bicultural student in the regular course of study.
