 In 2006 27% of parents opted not to have bilingual services for their students.In the district two elementary schools have bilingual education for all grades; three offer bilingual education for some, but not all, grades; and one elementary school has no bilingual education at all; this means some students may have to attend a different elementary school in order to complete bilingual education.Superintendent Ron Miller stated that due to Plainview's rural location it was especially difficult for the district to hire bilingual-certified teachers.
