Background:
|
|
The Office of English Learner Services produces the Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Student Fact Sheet each school year to provide an overview of the diversity within our school division. The document provides summary enrollment data of students with a primary home language other than English and whose cultural values and background may differ from the mainstream culture (our Linguistically and Culturally Diverse [LCD] population). |
