Summary: The FINAL DRAFT of Master Plan for Services to English Learners has been completed. It is a document that was created by the Task Force of 40 School/Community members over seven months. The document is based on research that was reviewed by the Task Force during this period of time. Stakeholder input was sought over a two week period in February/March. Nearly 500 comments were submitted and were considered by the Task Force. The Master Plan will become the road map for the Mt Diablo USD in providing operational guidance for programs for the over 7,000 English Learners in the district. It is compliant with State and Federal regulations.
Funding: EIA/LEP
Fiscal Impact The Master Plan will be phased in over three years, as described in the Power Point Presentation by Director of English Learner Services Jeanne Duarte-Armas. EIA/LEP funds will be used to support the implementation of each phase of the plan.
Recommendation: The informational presentation is to be considered a first read for the Board. It is recommended that the DRAFT Master Plan be implemented in Phase I for the first semester of the 2012/2013 school year. During the first semester, the Elementary, Middle School and High School sub committees will finalize their work in order to make the final programmatic recommendations to the plan. Once these recommendations are completed, the finalized Master Plan will be brought back to the School Board for final approval.
