VII.C. English Learner – Bilingual Education Program **
Description:
The English Learner (EL) -Bilingual Education program is designed for students whose primary language is one other than English. Schools are required to provide equal access for all students to a high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve their full academic potential. The state of Illinois has guidelines for EL caseload sizes of approximately 25-30 students per EL teacher. Current enrollment is 68 students, with 8 different languages. We have 42 incoming freshmen that will be enrolled in the EL program, which will bring us to a total of 13 different languages. Based on current enrollment, along with the projected increase from feeder school districts for next year, ISBE has granted conditional approval of our EL-Bilingual Service Plan based on the addition of another bilingual teacher for next year. Recommend expansion of the EL - Bilingual Education program by 1 FTE for the 2023/24 school year.
