Trend analysis of CPS testing-program enrollment categories around the 1998-99 bilingual policy overhaul, reported in the Effects of the CPS Bilingual Education Policy section and Table A. The policy extended the exclusion period from three to four years post-kindergarten.
"Table A (see page 14) shows a large increase in the number of students tested but excluded and a smaller, yet significant, decrease in the number of students not tested in 1999 (the number of students tested and in- cluded increased by more than 12,000 from 1998, and the number not tested declined by more than 5,000)."
