Committee member Amanda: district among highest in state for English learners (25.4%)
Summary
Committee member Amanda presented the annual legislative report, noting Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 has about 25.4% current English learners, reviewed program participation and previewed a district focus on standards and dual-language training.
Committee member Amanda presented the board with the district's annual legislative report for the 2024-25 school year, outlining demographics, program participation and state revenue breakdowns. She told the board the district is "in the top districts with the highest percentage of current English learners at 25.4%."
Amanda summarized program categories used in the report—participation, language development, academic achievement, attendance and state revenues—and highlighted that elementary students are showing improved "on-track" indicators, while the district will continue work on 5-year graduate rates. She also noted the district brought in a trainer for a new language program this year and said staff engagement at the session was strong. The superintendent added that the recent training attracted more participants than expected, including administrators representing pre-K through grade 12.
