According to an investigation by the department, Clay County schools did not provide students with the language instructions needed to become fluent in English. County schools also failed to provide non-English speaking parents with important school information that they could properly understand.
In the agreement, the school district will proactively screen students prior to enrollment and provide language services if needed. Teachers will also be properly trained so they can provide effective education for English learner students to become fluent in the language. “We are pleased that the Clay County School District has agreed to embrace its obligation to meet the language needs of its English learners so that students can learn English and fully participate in the district’s educational experience,” U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg for the Middle District of Florida said in a statement.
