NEVADA BUDGET $14 MILLION FOR ESL.
Sandoval’s budget also includes $20 million to expand all-day kindergarten to more at-risk schools, and $14 million to target young students who are learning English as a second language. About 15 percent of Nevada students are English language learners.

LIMITED ENGLISH CLASSES COSTLY.

CARSON CITY -- Teaching children with limited English skills costs the state $722 million a year, takes instruction time from other students and contributes to Nevada's bottom ranking on student achievement on tests, according to a study by a national anti-illegal immigration group.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) concluded in a soon-to-be released study that student performance in Nevada will lag behind most other states as long as state and federal officials fail to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants into the state.

$20 million for child care. At risk schools mean schools whose majority is Hispanics. Who should be taught English by their parents before they start school. One more reason for forced deportation. This is happening all across this country. This adds to the debt and the Right wants part of my social check to help pay for it when the want to cut Social Security and Medicare to pay down the debt.
Are ESL classes considered the same as a foreign language class? Like French and Spanish? Required?
