[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school gets money for ESOL.  Our children are U.S. born but school insisted on keeping them in ESOL for money-which they indicated multiple times.  One child was special ed.-significant push back on getting services under IEP.  School just did not care.  [/quote]

Where did those additional funds come from? I have seen paperwork for Medicaid for severely disabled children, but nothing for ELL.[/quote]

The school does not get money for ESOL. The school does get money for FARMs students in that if school meets a certain percentage they get title 1 status which means extra resources. I have never heard of schools or school systems getting money for ESOL kids. Maybe they were referring to their teacher allocation which is based on the number of ELLs and their ESOL levels in a school (at least in mcps). But not money. I don’t know why they would discuss that with you though. It’s always ultimately the parents’ decision to not have their child receive ESOL services even if we don’t necessarily agree with it.  —ESOL teacher
