RSD 13 staff flag need for multilingual support as enrollment reaches 23 students
Summary
District staff told the Student Achievement Committee that Regional School District 13 now serves 23 multilingual learners and that current scheduling—one multilingual teacher serving four schools—may prompt a future budget request for an assistant to improve service delivery.
District staff told the Student Achievement Committee on Nov. 5 that Regional School District 13 has 23 multilingual learners and that the district has engaged Learn under a small contract to support multilingual programming.
Staff said the current model has one multilingual-learner (ML) teacher covering multiple schools, which complicates scheduling and service. Committee members were notified that administrators might request an assistant for the ML teacher in a future budget cycle to ease scheduling and increase direct support.
"We have 23," a staff member confirmed when asked about the number of multilingual learners. Committee members discussed the logistics of shared positions and the potential benefit of locating multilingual services at Memorial School to centralize resources.
No formal staffing or budget vote was taken at the meeting; the item was presented as an informational update and a heads-up for future budget planning.
