“A USC study found that nearly three out of 10 Los Angeles English-learner students spent years in English-language-instruction courses without ever being re-classified as English fluent.” Some begin the English language learning classes in the early years of elementary school and are still in the classes when they enter high school.
Many are not reclassified even though they score at proficiency level on a test that the State of California uses to determine English fluency.
“The state Legislative Analyst's Office has found that districts have a financial incentive for keeping students classified as English learners because federal and state programs distribute funds based on the number of students eligible for those programs. In other words, the more students classified as English learners the more money districts receive from Washington and Sacramento.”
Is there anyone who does not think that every LAUSD board member, every downtown administrator, and every superintendent needs to go because they are not there for the students of LAUSD?
Is there anyone who does not think that every school in the district needs to secede from the district in order to better manage the school’s need and in order to directly receive every penny earmarked for the students?
