services, replacing the term selected with qualified, identified, or placed, as appropriate to the context.
This change aligns the language with OSPI guidelines and better reflects the programs purpose:

providing additional educational services to students in need rather than positioning it as an exclusive
program.

The policy updates also prioritize equity by emphasizing the identification of low-income students, using
multiple objective criteria, implementing universal screening, applying local norming, and screening and
assessing students in their native languages. These changes ensure alignment with state law.
