Approve the purchase of Ellevation, a software platform for instructional and data management that supports the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program.
The Ellevation platform puts all information and data about English Language Learners (ELLs) in one place. This platform will enhance instruction, ensure compliance with State and Title III requirements, and improve monitoring of the ESOL program and ELLs across the District.
