<p>English Language Learner services are instructional services for limited and non-English speaking students,&nbsp;funded by the State of California. These students receive special instruction to learn English and are provided support in the core curriculum areas. When parents report that a language other than English is spoken at home, students are assessed to determine english language proficiency. Those students who are not fluent in English receive instruction from staff who have special training in these areas. Depending on the needs of the individual student, support in English may take place in the classroom or outside of the classroom.</p>
