The ELL district coordinator will then do a home visit to see what the student’s needs are. The response to the intervention meetings will be held with the parents, teachers, principals and coordinators to let all who is involved know what the ELL student’s academic needs are.

When the student meets the qualifications they will be serviced by an ESOL teacher.
