Are English learner students losing teachers because fewer kids showed up during immigration enforcement?
What We Know
The district based English learner staffing partly on January test scores. But more than 80 multilingual families kept children home in January due to fear of immigration raids, which may have lowered those scores. The district has not said whether it will adjust those staffing numbers.
