A student is eligible for LAP services if they score below grade-level standard in ELA or Mathematics. Districts must use multiple measures of performance in determining student eligibility.

LAP Readiness to Learn (RTL) programs are designed to serve students significantly at risk of not being successful in school. These students do not need to have been identified as scoring below grade-level standard in math or ELA to participate in RTL programs. Each district determines the eligibility criteria for student participation in RTL programs.
