The costs are enormous and most are born by the states and cities. In Fairfax County, VA, where I lived for 36 years, the budget for the school system was $2.4 billion a year. $110 million was spent on ESOL teachers alone. And this didn't include special needs students. In some schools, 80% of the students were enrolled in ESOL.

I should note that Fairfax County is one of the top three richest counties in America.

Thanks good stuff, which we will never see on any network. For those of us who pay property taxes a big chunk is school tax. This shows how that will rise if the issues are the same in your locality
