The purpose of this survey is to determine the primary or home language of the student. The HLS must be given to all students enrolled in the school district. The HLS is administered one time, upon initial enrollment in a Indiana school, and remains in the student’s file. Indiana school districts are required to determine the language(s) spoken in each student’s home to identify their specific language needs, per the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VI, Language Minority Compliance Procedures.
Please note that the answers to the survey below are student specific. If a language other than English is recorded for ANY of the survey questions below the student will be given a test to determine whether the student will qualify for additional English Language Support.
