During the Oct. 6 North East ISD board of trustees meeting, the board received an evaluation of the district’s bilingual and ESL programs, which showed that the district’s emergent bilingual stu- dent population remained consis- tent year over year from 20.11% in the 2023-24 school year to 20.74% in the 2024-25 school year. NEISD program enrollment remains steady
In a nutshell Alicia Calderon, senior director of bilingual and ESL programs, said the increased emergent bilingual population of around 150-170 students is not as significant as previous years, which have seen a steady increase from 11.6% in the 2016-17 school year to over 20% in the current school year. Calderon said the district’s next steps include increasing student performance on STAAR assessments, improving TELPAS performance, increasing students’ proficiency levels and enhancing biliteracy practices.
