Overview: Bilingual Education (BE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) are state mandated programs aimed at addressing the linguistic, cognitive and affective needs of all limited English proficient (LEP) students. Bilingual Education uses the English and Spanish languages for instruction in the following elementary schools: Reagan and San Jacinto. Students from the remaining eighteen elementary campuses who wish to participate in Bilingual Education are issued a transfer to one of the above named schools for the duration of the school year. The school district busses these children from their home campus to Reagan or San Jacinto and back, at no cost to the parents. Reagan Elementary School receives transfers from the following schools: Alta Loma, Austin, Blackshear, Bonham, Bradford, Day, Fannin, Goliad and McGill. San Jacinto Elementary School receives transfers from the remaining elementary campuses: Belaire, Bowie, Crockett, Fort Concho, Glenmore, Holiman, Rio Vista, Santa Rita and Travis. ESL services are offered to all LEP students in the district without consideration to their primary language. Elementary, junior high and high school ESL students receive ESL services at their assigned campuses.

Teachers who are already certified in another academic area may receive an endorsement in Bilingual/ESL education. All program participants must pass an Examination for Certification of Educators in Texas (EXCET) in Bilingual/ESL education to receive certification or endorsement.
