OKLAHOMA CITY - The state Education Department says the number of Hispanic students in Oklahoma schools rose by 3,461 during the 2007-08 academic year. Total student enrollment in the state increased by 3,056 from October 2007.
State Superintendent Sandy Garrett says because of the increase in Hispanic students there will be an effort to hire more bilingual teachers.
Garrett says the Education Department will also ask the legislature for more money to train teachers in other languages and the help students make the transition into classes after a move.
