What are the services offered to limited English proficient (LEP) students?
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a required program for students whose home language is other than English and who are classified as less than independent in English. Curriculum Content in the Home Language (CCHL); Bilingual Curriculum Content (BCC) is designed to provide, in a language other than English, selected basic skills and concepts which are generally offered only in English. Home Language Assistance Program (HLAP) provides assistance on a need basis, in the areas of mathematics, science, social sciences, and computer literacy at the secondary level, in schools with fifteen or more students who speak the same home language. The ESOL program is staffed by a Multilingual Team of foreign teachers and paraprofessionals who provide the necessary skills and knowledge in the areas of mathematics, science, and social sciences. They help to establish a bridge between the LEP student and teacher as well as among parent(s)/guardian(s), students, and school.
