Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) Service Chart All PSUs (LEAs and Charter schools) that have at least one identified English learner (EL) student on the annual EL Headcount must complete the LIEP Service Chart. The purpose of the LIEP Service Chart is to represent the services provided to students identified as multilingual learners across all schools within a district. Each school is encouraged to have its own version of the district's LIEP Service Chart that represents its specific subset of services. The LIEP Service Chart is completed to provide stakeholders with relevant data for programming, scheduling, advocacy, and compliance. PSUs that receive Title III funding are required to submit the service chart with their grant application documents via CCIP. All charter schools are required to submit the service chart in Epicenter as part of the A5 EL Component of the Charter Schools' Performance Framework. Note: Charter schools that are Title III subgrantees should upload the service chart to Epicenter after it has been approved by the Title III consultant in CCIP.
