Attached are the proposed NRS Education Functioning Level Descriptor changes. The modifications have been made to align the functioning level descriptors more closely with the College and Career Readiness Standards. Most striking to me is that the ESL levels are gone. Has there been any buzz about that?

Is it certain they are gone, Judy? I know these are the proposed ones. But I found no mention of English learners in the whole document.

Judy, Is the document you forwarded the same one published here? http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=ED-2015-ICCD-0004 I’m too lazy to double-check myself, but I assume it is. If so, note to all that the comment period is open until March 16th. Four comments received so far!

Sorry, the link to the actual document is here: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=ED-2015-ICCD-0004-0003 The link I sent earlier is where one goes in order to comment. regulations.gov is a bit confusing to navigate, IMO.
