Master Plan for English Learners

Our district is dedicated to closing the achievement gap for all students and our objective is to provide our English Learners with outstanding ongoing support through a cycle of instruction, assessment, monitoring, and evaluation. To ensure that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities, annual training and review are provided on the Master Plan for English Learners for district and site staff, and direct support is delivered to each school site.

All district staff is accountable for ensuring that programs for English Learners are optimally effective and we are all expected to follow the procedures specified in this plan.
