Bilingual/ESL update: reclassifications, program plans and strong summer enrichment attendance
Summary
Temple ISD reported 1,332 students tested in bilingual/ESL services (485 coded bilingual, 819 coded ESL), noted roughly 69 students were reclassified out of EB status, and outlined curriculum, professional development and Summit K12 rollout plans to strengthen language acquisition.
Ms. Cisneros presented the annual bilingual and ESL program report at the board meeting, reporting 485 students coded bilingual, 819 coded ESL and a total of 1,332 students tested during the prior year. She said overall coding dipped by roughly 189 students but explained 69 of those exited due to reclassification after strong TELPAS and STAR results, and that incomplete pre-K coding accounts for some of the remaining difference.
Cisneros described training and program plans, including an in-house ESL academy, a Summit K12 rollout for K–12 and expanded parent-education licensing through the platform. She also detailed robust summer-enrichment participation for recoded EB students and said the district will focus on earlier language supports and professional development to extend gains into pre-K and early grades.
The presentation included plans for targeted professional development, parent engagement, and weekly coaching or monitoring at campuses to support language acquisition.
