Why PRJUSD Developed This Goal
Targeted and focused support toward English language acquisition is a key component of improving outcomes for our English Learner students. Students who are fluent in English are more likely to be successful in school and find opportunities for work after high school or college. The California Department of Education recognizes this to be an important component for school districts to support by implementing designated and integrated English Language development upon enrollment in public schools. The actions listed under this goal will be implemented in an integrative manner to help achieve this goal for every child.
