Sec. 8. (a) Students whose dominant language is English shall be allowed to participate in the bilingual-bicultural program unless their participation will hinder the progress of the non-English dominant students.
(b) Students enrolled in a program of bilingual-bicultural education shall, if graded classes are used, be placed, to the extent practicable, in classes with students of approximately the same age and level of educational attainment, as determined after considering the attainment through the use of all necessary languages.
(c) If students of significantly varying ages or levels of educational attainment are placed in the same class, the program of bilingual-bicultural education must seek to ensure that each student is provided with instruction appropriate for the student's level of educational attainment. The ultimate objective is to place the bilingual-bicultural student in the regular course of study.
