Eight member of the English Learners Task Force appointed by the Boston School Committee resigned Tuesday morning in protest of parts of the new Inclusive Education Plan moving the majority of English Language Learners to General Education classrooms.
In a letter to Mayor Michelle Wu and Superintendent Mary Skipper, the resigning task force members said the district’s plan to integrate English learners into general education classrooms will lead to worse outcomes.
More than half of Boston Public Schools’ English Learners Task Force have resigned in protest over a plan to place students who are learning to speak English.
