We’re trying to stabilize these folks’ lives and not put them in even more transition. The challenge really is (that) there’s a goal to have these families in some sort of housing within a week.

We’re making some of the best academic improvement in the state, and we’ve got a bureaucratic blunder that we’re trying to correct, and the state won’t accept the correction.

We knew we were going to start out slow.

We’re still hopeful a majority (of ELL students) will get through, but at the end of the day, we may have 50 kids or 100 kids who don’t make it.
