students, not just the beginning e.l.l. students. so long-term e.l.l. students are students who have been in the united states for six years or more. but they have not been reclassified to english proficient. so these are the students that need a lot more higher level e.l.d. classes or much more sheltered strategies for the english classes in order to address the linguistic needs they have in order to be reclassified. so we will be offering english nine and english 10. algebra, geometry, biology, and english language development. and we project that the number of students to be served would be about 11 -- would be about 1,190. so we -- this is not the -- this is a district funded program. we will still continue to offer the summer graduating seniors program. these are for the 12th graders who were potential may 2012 graduates. but perhaps failed the graduation requirement. so we are going to offer -- and we've done that in the past, that will allow these 12th graders to make up these course that is they have failed so they can graduate in july of 2012.
