Study: Most ELLs are in districts that fall short of federal goals
Education Week
Most of the nation's English language learners were enrolled in school districts that failed to reach all of their accountability goals for that group of students in the 2008-2009 school year, according to a national evaluation of the federal program that supports English-language-acquisition services. While more than half of the school districts that receive federal funding to support programs for ELLs reported meeting all their academic goals in 2008-2009, those districts served only 39 percent of the total ELL population. And, in that same school year, only 10 states achieved all of their accountability goals for ELLs under the No Child Left Behind Act. More
