      Assignment Decisions (Geo School Returns/New Students)

      (Bilingual Coordinator and Admin Assistant) CES and PES only offers TPI/Part time services. There is no full-time/self-contained bilingual classes at CES or PES. Generally CES and PES students who qualify/accept full-time/Dual language service will attend SWES, LES or WA. This is approximately 5-8 students per grade.
