CD# PR-05 Question #6
FY 2014
BUDGET INFORMATION FORM
School Board Member Requesting Information: Patricia Reed
Answer Prepared By: Sloan Presidio, Susan Quinn
Date Prepared: January 31, 2013
Question:
Please indicate the amount of funds that could be saved by not opening new immersion or FLES 
programs in FY 2014, until a study can be done on efficacy and equity.

Response:
The FY 2014 Proposed Budget includes an increase of $1.0 million to expand World Languages 
programs to ten additional elementary schools. The $1.0 million will be the savings realized by not 
opening new foreign language immersion or FLES programs in FY 2014.
Here is the narrative description from the FY 2014 Proposed Budget document, page 44:
World Languages programs in elementary schools will be expanded to ten additional schools to address 
Student Achievement Goal 1.2. In FY 2014, eight schools will fully implement the Foreign Languages in 
the Elementary Schools (FLES) program at all grade levels and two schools will implement the Foreign 
Language Immersion program. Funding provides 12.0 teacher positions, as well as staff development, 
translations, and materials. The specific schools will be identified and included in the FY 2014 Approved 
Budget.[/quote]
