Chisum ISD Translation Procedures

Purpose:

Chisum ISD will take practicable steps to ensure that parents, guardians, and other English Language Learners have access and equal opportunity to important school information. Information will be provided in an understandable and uniform format, and to the extent practicable, in a language that parents/guardians can understand.

Types of Translation Available:

Language assistance will be provided through bilingual staff interpreters, written translated materials and documents, and technology-assisted translation capabilities including the district website.

Data to Determine Translation Needs:

Chisum ISD will conduct annual review of the language access needs of our parents, guardians, and others through review of the Home Language Surveys, language preference surveys for written communications, and educator, parents and student feedback and requests.

Based on this data analysis, translation and interpretation services will be made available in Spanish.

Documents/Information to be Translated:

The District and Campus Improvement Plans and the Parent Family Engagement written policies will be available in written format in Spanish and available upon request via an interpreter or via website translation capability in other languages as needed. Other communications will be translated, as needed in Spanish upon request.
