Current plan and supports in place for English Learners at our school:

❏ English Learner program funds come from the school’s general funding because it is a required need. ❏ CHS builds master plan and classes by first prioritizing English Learner needs. ❏ Professional development is provided for ELD/ELA teachers to improve instruction for English Learners.
