ST. LOUIS BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY
The Board of
Education of the St. Louis Public Schools recognizes its responsibility to
provide equal educational opportunities for all students in the District,
including students who come from homes where a language other than English is
spoken.
Students who
are considered to have limited proficiency in English will be given the
opportunity to enroll in the ESOL/ELL Program.
The purpose
of the ESOL/ELL program is to increase the English proficiency of English
language learner (ELL) students so that they can reach academic success as
measured by standards adopted by the Board.
The
students' progress in achieving the goals and objectives of the ESOL/ELL
Program will be measured annually.
