A Second-Grade Student Recently Enrolled in Your School

Short Answer

A second-grade student recently enrolled in your school. The student is a recent immigrant from Mexico. Your school determines that the child had not previously been enrolled in school in Mexico due to his parents' lack of funds and due to a lack of transportation to school. The student's mother has recently obtained citizenship. Once the child began to attend your school, it was determined that the child could not read in English or Spanish. Can the student be referred for an evaluation for special education services?
