[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Through the grapevine I've heard  the principal refer to out-of-boundary Spanish immersion parents who continue with the program at Westland initially and then pull their kids out of immersion.  No doubt the Board is aware as well.[/quote]

Wonder why they pull them?  One shouldn't assume automatically that it's because they were never interested in immersion in the first place.  Is immersion weak at Westland?  Does it keep the kids segregated?  Are they unable to take immersion and orchestra or other particular electives at the same time?

What is the policy for immersion matriculation?  Normally, in MCPS if you are in a special program or magnet, you lose your status at a school and must go back to your homeschool if you withdraw from the program that gave you status to transfer to the program/school in the first place.  The only exception I'm aware of is if a child has only 1 year left at that particular school, then making the child move back to the homeschool can be considered a hardship.   In theory, out-of-boundary parents who pull their kids out of immersion at Westland lose their status at Westland and must go back to the homeschool.  Can anyone point me to a written policy that says otherwise?
