This month, several visitors from South Burlington School District visited Burlington High School to see first-hand the progress Burlington schools are making in changing the way English Learners enter the district. The intake center consists of multilingual liaisons, who help connect families with schools, and a dedicated teacher to complete initial screenings for new arrivals. Although EL Director Miriam Ehtesham-Cating said the Welcome Center is still in its infancy, visitors from the neighboring district were applauding efforts to help make new students and families have an easier time entering school.
