5. FDC http://esl.ncwiseowl.org/lepcoordinators/l_e_p_f_d_c/ The FDC has 3 main sites: LEP, W-APT and Immigrant. You can access the User Guide, Bulk Load File Layout and URL for each site here.

6. FDC http://esl.ncwiseowl.org/lepcoordinators/l_e_p_f_d_c/ The newest addition to the FDC is the LEP Data Collection site! Only LEAs/Charters which received Title III funds in 09-10 must complete the survey. For other LEAs/Charters the completion of this survey is optional. This replaces the Zoomerang survey previously entitled Title III Performance Report. Everyone with LEP FDC access automatically has access to this site

7. FDC http://esl.ncwiseowl.org/lepcoordinators/l_e_p_f_d_c/ Another addition to the site is the Statewide LEP Report User Guide. This is password protected and only accessible to authorized users. Some of the larger LEAs have statewide read only access to the FDC. With the new daily enrollment uploads this should not be needed in most LEAs.

28. Reflections I have recently had an FDC revelation and wanted to share it with you... :) All kids who are in NC WISE will show up in the LEP FDC by NC WISE number, whether or not they've ever been LEP or even qualify as a NOM. I just checked my own son, who shows up in the FDC, but the key is that the home language and immigrant fields are blank, which tell me that he's never had scores entered on the FDC of course. It's important to note that under the "LEP status" field, it says "current," but that is simply the default and does not mean the child is actually currently identified. That can be very deceiving at first glance, so be careful! Please be aware of this when you are trying to find any history on potential LEP students who enroll in our district. Just being on the FDC with demographic data does not mean that are identified LEP or have been LEP in the past. Thanks!~ Alesha
