District to add ESOL and science curriculum positions
The board approved adding ESOL roles at Clearwater Elementary due to a 30 percent Hispanic population and the need for a curriculum specialist amid new state science standards. Enrollment has grown from 400 to over 1,000 since 2001, with students speaking 30 languages. The district also discussed the Freshman Academy program and expanded support staff to improve retention and discipline.
