Gutiérrez asks whether multilingual learner data changes mid-year
Gutiérrez asks whether families' language information changes during the school year. Branch says new students may arrive but families rarely change their reported home language.
Do you find that it will change in the middle of the school year?
Maybe you're a family who, like, just didn't respond in the same way for whatever reason.
Do you find that that happens often where maybe in the middle of the school year they're like, actually, yes.
It's not typically that it changes for the families, but we may get new students, right?
So now we have additional multilingual learners in the program.
But it's not usually the case that we have a family.
Who says little Johnny is a multilingual learner.
He speaks French at home.
And now that's no longer the case.
No, I think of the reverse, where I think the way that you defined it earlier could be like, maybe abuela comes over once in a while, and now my child is being exposed in a way that maybe the parents didn't.
So that's kind of what I'm referring to.
That's not typical.
I would say that.
It happens from time to time.
time to time, but I think it's inconsequential in terms of how often we take a trip and we absorb a whole lot.
Absolutely.
Okay.
