[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d set up a transitional school for English language learners. You test in/out and return to your neighborhood school once fluency is achieved. Eliminate AAP centers. Your base school will suffice. [/quote] Considering the number of ESL students in the county, that school would need to support 15-20% of the county’s students.[/quote] Setting up a separate school and running transportation sounds like a good idea but not a way to reduce expenses.[/quote] This. It will never happen for the same reason the district is trying to do away with standalone special ed programs and sheltered classes at the secondary level. Some of the students will never exit either program through no fault of anyone. The programs are expensive to staff and it’s much cheaper to push everyone into the same classroom and then blame teachers for not meeting the needs of all learners.[/quote]
