Which committee oversees identification and placement of ELLs for bilingual or ESL programs in Texas?

• A. PTA
• B. Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC)
• C. School Improvement Team
• D. Curriculum Committee

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is knowing which body is responsible for language-learner identification and service decisions in Texas. The Language Proficiency Assessment Committee is the group that handles identifying students who need specialized language support, determining their placement in bilingual or ESL programs, and monitoring their progress over time to decide when they no longer need those services. It also ensures parents are informed and involved in these decisions.

Other groups serve different purposes: a PTA is a parent-teacher association for school activities, a School Improvement Team works on overall school improvement plans, and a Curriculum Committee focuses on what gets taught—their roles aren’t about identifying or placing ELL students.
