New fles sites for 2012-2013- fcps

[Anonymous]

Has anyone seen a list of the new approved fles sites ( foreign language - not immersion) for fcps? I tried searching and I couldn't seem to find it. Thanks

This is all I could find doing a quick search on School Board topics. It doesn't say which schools will be added and there was nothing interesting listed on foreign language. I did find it interesting from these minutes that 37% per teachers still don't use ecart.

To be clear, the report said that 37% of teachers *surveyed* said they did not use ecart. Without knowing how big the sample was or whether the grade levels were evenly represented, that number doesn't tell everything.

From last night's School Board meeting:

F. Elementary World Languages

The expansion of Foreign Language in the Elementary
Schools (FLES) to eight new sites requires one fewer
teacher position based on the student enrollment of the
selected schools. The change in position count results in
the savings of $75,197. The eight elementary schools
that have been identified for the FLES program are
Churchill Road, Flint Hill, Columbia, Hollin Meadows,
Rose Hill, Cherry Run, Poplar Tree, and Oakton. The
Foreign Language Immersion (FLI) program will be
expanded to Braddock and Colin Powell in FY 2013.
