Language in St. Cloud schools...

It was very interesting to see the jump from teachers assisting English Language Learners in the schools in St. Cloud. The article states in 2005-2006 the district had 15 teachers, they now have 28 teachers that are assisting students with language. I like that the author takes the time to compare and contrast with nearby districts. They also point out that with this large growing number- they are taking the time to provide programs that offer additional assistance to these children and families. It's also great to know that these school districts receive money for the children that are English Language Learners, up to $700 per child!
