School Board members pressed James Alves on whether greater cooperation between the ESL and bilingual programs might have saved the bilingual program. Alves noted limited overlap due to fundamentally different goals, with ESL aiming to mainstream students and bilingual to foster ongoing language and culture awareness. The superintendent reported that the bilingual program will not be in effect this year, with a new application possible next year.
