County Schools Revise ESL Program After OCR Complaints
Gaston County Schools overhaul their English as a Second Language program after OCR complaints. The district will consult with the Southeastern Equity Center, submit evaluation plans, test English language learners from 2010-11 and 2011-12, and implement individual plans as needed. It will provide interpreters, translate documents, train staff, and report progress to the Office of Civil Rights with timelines and documented proof.
