    • Responsibility & Functions:
    The Bilingual Education Act (N.J.S.A. 18A:35-15 and P.L. 1974, c.197) was enacted to ensure that students of limited English proficiency (LEP), are provided instruction in their native language in order to develop academic skills while acquiring English language skills. The responsibility of the office is to provide assistance to local districts in designing and implementing educational programs that will meet the needs of limited English proficient students and to assure compliance with state and federal regulations. Such assistance is provided by formal and informal technical assistance, regional workshops, conferences and publications.
