[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is going to happen to Dora Kennedy, Caesar Chavez, Maya Angelou, Williams etc. Those programs are in high demand and have proven outcomes. If anything, this is a good argument to keeping them as K-8 schools. The programs that are being cut have: - low enrollment compared to the costs needed to staff all the classrooms (e.g. Spanish Immersion at Kettering, Largo) - Low parent engagement (Chinese Immersion at Paintbranch) -Cost of running the program has increased with little measurable impact (Elementary and Middle School IB programs). Cuts have to be made and these make a ton of sense to me. What language parents should push for is ensuring that their kids have a path to higher levels of French/Spanish after middle and high school. That may mean they can enroll at ERHS or another school that offers those advanced AP classes. [/quote] Thanks. This is a really helpful explanation. [/quote]
