“As a BPS parent, I witnessed firsthand the difficulties that parents without English skills faced in communicating with teachers, administration and the school community. Despite the many efforts at language inclusivity made in many communities, English is the primary language spoken in the U.S. and ESOL offers a pathway to education, economic independence, self-advocacy, and civic involvement.”
