California's AB 2555 (2026) changed reclassification: an English learner is now reclassified based only on an Overall Level 4 on the Summative ELPAC (or Level 3 on the Alternate ELPAC). Local committees, teacher sign-off and extra criteria are gone, students with 2025–26 scores must be reclassified between Sept 27, 2026 and Jan 31, 2027, and reclassified students are still monitored for 4 years. Families need clear explanations in a language they understand. This kit gives office staff, EL coordinators and teachers ready-to-send letters in English with a matching Spanish page for each.
