The Consent Decree entered in United States District Court on August 14, 1990 by agreement between the plaintiffs and the defendants in LULAC et al v. State Board of Education of Florida does not grant language enriched pupils (LEP) any new rights. The Consent Decree simply provides a structure for compliance with constitutional imperatives. By having a LEP Plan approved by the Department of Education, in conformity with the Consent Decree, each district ensures such compliance with constitutional imperatives.
Additionally, State Board Rule 6A-10.040 (5a) states "No student is exempt from this rule because of language deficiencies" and (5b) "LEP students must achieve the minimum grade level/scale score or higher on one of the designated tests in subsection (1) of this rule as required by the Department to be awarded a certificate of completion in a career/technical program."
