Dallas ISD plans newcomer centers for high schoolers learning English and revamp of dual-language programs
Changes are aimed at better serving students learning English.
Dallas ISD is planning changes to the district s dual-language programs and a new pilot program for high school newcomer students.
Students struggling to learn English will get greater support on their path to become biliterate if Dallas schools create newcomer centers for high schoolers and revamp dual-language programs, officials said.
The proposed changes come more than 15 years after Superintendent Michael Hinojosa was first hired to lead the district and when DISD began exploring better ways to serve students learning English.

These aims and the rest of the plan will utilize UNLâs strengths and be a primary focus of 2021, Green said.
âThey are necessary work and distinct opportunities at UNL to have an even greater defining impact for Nebraska and our world,â he said.
The necessity for narrowing issues into grand challenges has been in discussion since 2016, Green said, and last year the Office of Research & Economic Development worked to finalize the themes. In total, he said nearly 500 faculty, staff and students worked to shape these themes.
âEven though this past year we have, by necessity, been looking at a convergence of crises, we have continued to move forward on N2025,â Green said.
