Next year s summary will include these new programs. As noted, after several years of growth, a decline was experienced in continuing education ESL instruction in 1997-98. In 1997-98, DPS chose to offer this instruction themselves rather than funding another provider. Although a decrease occurred in District continuing education ESL, such enrollments continue to exceed levels prior to the DPS contract. Overall, almost 15,000 individuals enrolled in either a continuing education or credit ESL course in 1997-98.
Enrollments reflect the total number of courses in which students are enrolled.
27,447 Credit Students 848 n.a. Credit Enrollments 2,742 n.a. Not Applicable - all ESL is taught through continuing education courses. This is a duplicated count since students in both continuing education and credit courses are counted twice. The total unduplicated count of 1997-98 ESL students is 14,958 and does not include those who received ESL instruction through contract training but were not registered as credit or continuing education students.
