![Liliana Rodríguez, with the Office of Latine Achievement, instructs students at a downtown homeless shelter in Minneapolis, Minn., on Friday, Dec. 22, 2023. The Office of Latine Achievement held a winter break academy that the district put on for students at a homeless shelter in Minneapolis. The only significant boost to enrollment at the city’s schools is coming from a wave of hundreds of immigrants to the district. Many of the students are from Ecuador and do not speak English, and most are in tough or unstable living situations. Schools are scrambling to accommodate dozens of high-needs students they hadn’t planned for in their budgets this year. The few dual-language programs in the city are bursting at the seams, meaning many of the new immigrants are placed at schools without enough bilingual educators. ] Elizabeth Flores • liz.flores@startribune.com](https://arc.stimg.co/startribunemedia/DO76O4JSZBEUPJ2ERNUZOK7WAE.jpg?&w=252&ar=3:2&fit=crop)
