Immigrant Information • The date a student enters a school for the first time in the United States is being collected and reported on the A03 panel. This information is very important for two reasons. One reason is the data is needed for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) waiver for accountability purposes. The other reason is because the State is collecting data on students who meet the definition of an immigrant student. • An immigrant student is defined as: • Ages 3-21; and • Were not born in any State or U.S territory or possession; and • Have not been attending one or more schools in any one or more States for more than 3 full academic years.
