This table explains Parent Permission Codes (PPC) and their corresponding Emergent Bilingual (EB)/English Learner (EL) status classifications. These codes document parent or guardian decisions regarding placement in Bilingual or ESL programs and determine how a student is identified or monitored within EB/EL program reporting.
The information below is structured to support accurate interpretation of PPC values and their impact on student EB/EL status for reporting and compliance.
