Rains ISD will not offer ESL summer school after low response, board notes

Rains Independent School District Board of Trustees · May 11, 2026

Summary

Assistant Superintendent John Portwood told the board ESL summer school requires at least 10 student responses to run; the current response level is below that threshold, and the board approved the plan noting the program will not be offered this summer.

Assistant Superintendent John Portwood presented the ESL Summer School plan and explained the district's threshold: "if fewer than ten (10) students respond to the invitation, ESL Summer School will not be offered." Based on current responses, the district will not offer ESL summer school this summer; the board approved the plan as presented with that contingency.

Portwood said the threshold is intended to ensure adequate staffing and instructional resources; administrators will re-offer or reconsider summer ESL programming if enrollment meets the minimum in future years. The action was recorded as a unanimous approval of the plan under the stated enrollment condition.
