| Abstract | In the past decade, Harrisonburg, Virginia, has become a magnet for immigrant families drawn to jobs in the poultry and construction industries. More than 1,600 of the school district's 4,400 students are English-learners. The largest group of newcomers are Latinos, followed by Kurdish and Russian refugees. In this article, the author discusses a resolution passed by the members of the Harrisonburg City school board, refusing to go along with a federal demand that Virginia schools stop using an English-language-proficiency test instead of the state's regular reading test to calculate adequate yearly progress, or AYP, for beginning English-learners. Since many children in a special class for English-learners would be affected if the district were to go along with the federal mandate, teachers believed that it is unfair to require a stricter reading test for some still working on skills.
