Paso Robles Joint Unified School District

California State Priorities addressed by this goal:

• Priority 2: State Standards (Conditions of Learning)
• Priority 3: Parental Involvement (Engagement)
• Priority 4: Pupil Achievement (Pupil Outcomes)

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.

To address the district level reds on the CA School Dashboard, 6.5 full-time ELD teachers proportionally allocated to elementary sites based upon EL enrollment numbers , Middle school and high school ELD classes within master schedule dependent upon enrollment numbers, newcomer classes and support based upon enrollment numbers of newcomer students.
