instead of spending all that money, mandate full-immersion English-as-a-first-language classes starting in pre-school. Encourage the students to encourage their parents to speak English in the home as part of whole learning. It worked 50 years ago, it can work now.

My youngest son spoke only Japanese until first grade. He needed some help that year.
He needed much less help in the second grade.
In the third grade I had to tell his teacher that English was not his first language.
He’s a Marine now.
