I wanted to share an in-depth presentation from the TESOL Advocacy & Policy summit that has LOADS of information about how funding operates for K12 ELs. Even the very smart MPI presenter, Julie Sugarman, admitted there were a lot of unanswered questions about the future regarding this issue, so extended the invitation for any and all questions you have to be directed to her. Her contact info is at the end of the presentation. Thank you for taking an interest and learning more!
