This report, prepared for the Committee on Education of the Community Service Society of New York, describes a court-ordered program for pupils with English language difficulty. A total of forty elementary, junior high and high schools were identified and designated as pilot schools. These schools were to provide a complete bilingual program for all students who had been identified as needing the program within each school. The pilot schools were also to show school personnel throughout each borough the ways of developing, implementing, and operating the programs. Most of the bilingual educators interviewed were reluctant to make an estimate of how long it would take the program enrollees to develop sufficient English language skills to continue their education in an all-English class. Most of them favored a maintenance program (maintaining the first language while learning English) throughout the child's school career, rather than a transitional program (transition to an all-English class when English language proficiency permits).
