English for Speakers of Other Languages Program

The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program helps limited English proficient students acquire the skills for understanding, speaking, reading and writing English that they need to be successful in school and in the community. ESOL teachers provide instruction in English and work collaboratively with classroom teachers to adapt the instructional program for limited English proficient (LEP) students. Currently 34 schools provide ESOL services for approximately 2,400 LEP students. These students come from over 85 different countries and have approximately 75 different primary languages. It is anticipated that the number of LEP students enrolled in the school district will continue to grow in the coming years.
