District: about 45% of students identified as English learners
On the Santa Maria-Bonita School District radio program, Alejandra Mesa, TOSA in the district’s multilingual office, provided enrollment figures she said are current: "Ahorita este ya pues ya casi llevo más de 26 años... ahora, aprendices de inglés que han sido identificados, tenemos arriba casi pues casi 8000, tenemos 7,932. Eso quiere decir que 45% de nuestra población estudiantil..."

Mesa presented the statistic while explaining why ILAC and DLAC structures exist: with roughly 7,932 students identified as English learners in a student body of about 17,000, she said there is a need for parent advisory forums, interpretation services and supports to ensure families understand assessments and reclassification processes.
