Specifically, there is no designated space for English language development instruction at the middle school with services provided in an open space in the library that does not allow for confidentiality or privacy. At the Cedar School, the English language development instructional space is not comparable to the instructional space provided to other students. Unlike other instructional spaces in the building, it is a very small office located in an isolated hallway with no windows and students do not have materials and resources accessible to them.
