The BISD is committed to: 1) addressing the needs of students who are identified as English Language Learners; and 2) providing an equal educational opportunity for all identified students through bilingual education and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.
BISD Elementary Bilingual/ESL Programs will emphasize the mastery of English language skills enabling students to participate effectively in regular classroom instruction and support mastery of the state’s curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). This will allow students to reach full potential through equitable experiences which ensure that they become confident, productive and competent members of our multicultural society.
