DENVER — Colorado's Joint Budget Committee unanimously approved a draft bill Friday that would secure $24 million in extra funding for schoolsthat are taking in new immigrant students."For them to be able to hire additional paraprofessionals, additional teachers provide the additional services that are needed that are unexpected, were unexpected," said Sirota.
If the bill becomes law, $24 million would be distributed by May 31 to districts that have enrolled"new arrival students" or students who moved to the United States less than a year ago, are not proficient in English or have limited English proficiency, and whose enrollment in Colorado public school is the student's first school enrollment in the United States.
"I think that the additional support will go a long way to helping all the kids in Colorado schools," said Sirota.
