The students who study in English Speaker classes should be part of the hours 
of the school. In the school where I work, these students have never had to pay 
extra for being in an English Speaker class and the class teacher is not paid 
by the parents.  Remember it is essentially a regular class.  By having parents 
pay for the class, the school does not have to provide teaching hours for 
English Speakers from the "sal shaot" that they get.  Our students don't even 
have to stay after school for English Speakers since each shickva (sorry about 
these Hebish words) studies English at the same time.  Unless you have a 
situation with only a minimal number of ES students there should be no problem 
with this.  The teachers of the classes are the English staff of the school!  
Native speakers should teach. (actually must teach)
I paid for years of English Speakers for my own kids- except for high school,, 
which if you think about it is pretty outrageous...Remember it is more 
convenient for a school if the parents pay!
