EVERETT — The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced today that it is awarding over $2. 3 million in grant funding to 32 school districts and charter schools to strengthen multilingual programming in school settings, including world language, heritage language, and English learner programs. Heritage languages are languages other than English used in homes, communities and families.
This funding promotes inclusive, supportive and culturally sustaining learning environments for all students. “In Massachusetts, we want all students to succeed, regardless of zip code or circumstance. This funding helps create inclusive and high-quality learning environments for all students, particularly multilingual learners,” said **GovernorMaura Healey.
** “Residents of Massachusetts speak a wide variety of languages, either in addition to or instead of English,” said **Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll. **“These grants enable districts to create programs that best align with their students’ needs and are an investment in our future workforce.
” The Proficiency Outcomes in World Languages grant program supports school district engagement in local and state world language advisory teams that inform new tools and recommendations for schools and educators. It also enables implementation of high-quality world language assessments and analysis of course-taking patterns to identify gaps in student access and opportunity.
The English Learner Education Support grant program enables school districts to develop and/or implement an alternative bilingual English learner education program, as well as develop or enrich high-quality curricular materials. Further, districts can use the funding to create or expand their own bilingual education hub and/or English as a second language (ESL) teacher hub.
These hubs improve the bilingual education educator pipeline, share knowledge to accelerate the adoption of proven and recognized programmatic models for English learners, and develop successful models that can be replicated for years to come. They also provide training alongside a mentor teacher and concurrent coursework in the area of ESL licensure.
“We know that schools need to give students multiple routes to multilingualism, and these grants provide districts with the funding and support they need to make that happen,” said **Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler. **“It also helps increase the cultural and linguistic diversity of the workforce, which benefits all students.
” “This funding will help districts move closer to DESE’s Educational Vision of helping all students be known and valued, making learning relevant and interactive, and giving students the individualized supports they need to succeed,” said **Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Pedro Martinez. ** “Effective language instruction is an important piece.
” In 2025, Governor Healey signed the Protect Education Equity Bill, adding guarantees to the right to a public education in Massachusetts for all students regardless of their immigration or citizenship status.
