Approved as
amended by ED's memoranda to OMB of 2/19/93 and 3/12/93. In
addition, we note that the broad definition of "Content-ESL" may
limit comparability across programs responding to this survey. ED
has agreed to analyze different types of ESL/bilingual programs
separately through collecting more detailed information about
program design, which will increase comparability and utility of
the data.
