The overhaul of bilingual and English-as-a-second-language programs in Texas schools has been put on hold.
The state requested and was awarded a delay because of concerns including funding, personnel changes and legislative authority that must be addressed first.
A U.S. District Judge ruled in 2008 Texas schools had failed middle and high school students with limited English.
A Texas Education Agency spokeswoman says the delay gives legislators a chance to consider potential laws that could address the issue.
