• The School English Learner Team

    The Lancaster School District recognizes that educating English learners is not the sole responsibility of the classroom teacher, but a central responsibility of each and every educator.

    Our school site teams provide leadership and accountability to ensure English learners and their families have a positive and productive educational experience.
