Translated Documents & Communication with Families

# data[].attributes.body
We should include a comprehensive list of all documents and communications that should be translated at a minimum (or interpreted for a rare or unwritten language). We may want to consider also taking a stance on exactly what is on the school's website and the quality of website translations (not using google translate or similar)

Each school will have access to interpretation and translation service, to offer quality and timely interpretation and translation services.

Tracking and Abiding by Language Preference Requests

Tracking and Abiding by Language Preference Requests

# data[].attributes.body
All schools should keep track of requests for communications in another language. All schools should then automatically initiate their plan for providing translated communications and interpretation in meetings/calls with that family ALWAYS.
All schools should have a standard process for requesting translations and interpretations that all staff know about and are familiar with. Staff should also know it is an expectation they will submit these requests whenever communicating with a emergent bilingual family.
It also should be made CLEAR AND APPARENT to families how to request translation and interpretation services whenever needed. (on website in multiple language would be great)

The obligation not to discriminate based on race, color, or national origin requires public schools to take affirmative steps to ensure that limited English proficient (LEP) students, now more commonly known as English Learner (EL) students or English Language Learners (ELLs), can meaningfully participate in educational programs and services, and to communicate information to LEP parents in a language they can understand. The following materials include information for students and parents, OCR guidance and resources for education officials about their obligations to EL students and LEP parents, and added resources with related information.

I know of a few language lines and interpreter companies. At SPLC, we use Telelanguage. We have also used LUNA Language Services to schedule Interpreters for rare languages (not on call, though. must be scheduled). Lion Bridge is one I have heard of. Language Line Solutions I have also heard of.
