Arizona: Schools Moving Forward With ELL Program
The Vail School District is moving forward with implementing the English Language Learner program for the 2008-09 school year, as mandated in a court battle that started in 1992.
Under the state mandate, starting next year, all Arizona schools will be required to teach four hours of English a day to students who aren’t proficient in the language.
Calvin Baker, the district superintendent, said implementing the program is definitely not as simple as it sounds, and there are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the issue.
