Current ELL are students who were identified as ELL during the school year of their last enrollment .
Ever ELL are students identified as ELL in any school year preceding the school year of their last enrollment.*
Never ELL are students who never were identified for ELL services.*

Identifying Opportunity Gaps
To ensure equity across the state, we need to increase opportunities to support successful students.
Part of this effort will be to explore which schools offer opportunities for:
• Multiple graduation pathways• Participation in My Brother’s Keeper programs• Access to high level coursework• Early College High School programs• PTECH programs
34
My Brother’s Keeper
• $48 million awarded to more than 100 districts and colleges through 3 grant programs
23 Communities 7 Tribal Nations 40 Challenge Grants 45 Family and Community Engagement Grants 36 My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Fellows 16 Teacher Opportunity Corps (TOC) II funded programs 5 Exemplary School Model Practice Schools (ESMP)
35
Conclusion
• Achievement gaps are starting to narrow; however, much work remains to be done
• Overall statewide graduation rate trend continues upward
• Board and Department remain focused on bringing educational equity to all New York students
