Language Assistance Plan
The Language Assistance Plan at Ohio Virtual Academy includes policies, procedural guidance, and supporting documents to ensure appropriate and timely language assistance to national origin minority, Limited English Proficient parents/guardians (LEP parents) that ensures they are notified, in a language they understand, of school activities, including activities related to and associated with their role as learning coaches, and other information and matters that are called to the attention of other parents. LEP parents may or may not have children who qualify for EL services; LEP parents must receive language assistance in a language they understand regardless of the EL eligibility of their children enrolled in Ohio Virtual Academy.
