Board reviews Yellow legislative report showing 25.4% English-learner population
Summary
Board members heard the district’s annual Yellow legislative report for 2024–25 noting Milton-Freewater Unified SD 7 has about 25.4% current English learners, highlighted dual-language training and on-track elementary gains, and discussed program classifications and state reporting categories.
The board received the district’s annual Yellow legislative report on English learners for the 2024–25 school year, with a presenter saying the district ranks among those with the highest share of current English learners at 25.4%.
The presenter explained state reporting categories — current, long-term (in program more than seven years), former and never — and highlighted an increase in on-track English learner progress at the elementary level. "We are in the top um districts with the highest percentage of current English learners at 25.4%," the presenter said. Trustees asked for clarity on definitions and data timelines; the report covers the prior school year and therefore lags by roughly one year.
Board members also praised a recent dual-language trainer visit organized with district staff, noting broad participation from pre-K through 12. A board member said the event exceeded attendance expectations and that Amanda helped arrange the training. The report will be retained for the district’s legislative and program planning work for the coming year.
