Bilingual Education and Limited English Proficiency Programs
District 2 offers Transitional Bilingual Education whenever there are 20 or more Limited English Proficient (LEP) students with a common native language enrolled in one school. Bilingual programs must be taught by a certificated teacher who is fluent in the native languages spoken by the students.

Transitional Program of Instruction
Transitional Program of Instruction may be provided in addition to a bilingual program whenever there are fewer than 20 LEP students of a common native language at any school. Transitional Program services involve instruction in English as a Second Language, the use of instructional aides in the classroom, and other native language resource persons.

Function
District 2 students identified as LEP receive assistance in the mainstream classroom, participate in a self-contained bilingual class, or receive assistance through small group sessions.
