“Our ESL budget has increased over $1 million in two years. Continuing to educate South Americans is not sustainable,' Victoria Manning, an at-large member of the Virginia Beach school board, wrote on Facebook last week.
The Democrat-controlled state Senate has pushed back on his efforts to steam roll the issue but Youngkin has nevertheless pressed forward,last week aimed at identifying “discriminatory” and “inherently divisive concepts” in public education that included “Critical Race Theory and its progeny.”
In a statement to The Daily Beast on Monday, Manning insisted that her comments had been warped by her political enemies, and pointed to a staffing shortage that she said was causing teachers to be “overburdened.” When asked whether or not she believed Manning should apologize for the remarks, Amberman said the damage was done.
According to the school district, 2,084 students qualify for ESL services, an increase of roughly 300 students since last fall. The most common first languages spoken amongst ESL students are Spanish, followed by Tagalog, Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese, the district’s director of K-12 and gifted programs Dr. Nicole DeVries said.
The district employs 43 ESL teachers and Superintendent Aaron Spence has requested a budget increase for eight additional full-time positions for the upcoming school year.
