Ms Rebecca Fredericks, director of Braintree Public School’s English Language Learners program (ELL) explained the department’s need for a larger staff while appearing before the School Committee Monday.
“ Staffing is our priority for certain,” said Fredericks. “ To meet the needs of our current population according to the state guidelines, we would need 22.5 ELL teachers presently in the system; we presently have 7.5.”
