[quote=Anonymous]The programs at Key and Claremont are identical. If there is segregation going on, then that is a parental/school leadership issue. We were at Claremont and there was nothing segregated about it. I think it is important to remember that a substantial number of the spanish speakers at the immersion schools are not poor at all. There are many well educated and well to do Spanish speaking families in this area. There is a whole cadre of them at Claremont. They understand the importance of Spanish literacy for their kids and those kids are already fully bilingual in K. The challenge is getting more recent immigrants on board. APS needs to reach out to the community and make sure they will apply to these schools if they are closer. Transferring a program fills up the school now, but incoming classes will be no different than they are now if APS doesn't seriously step up its efforts to encourage these families to apply and them help them navigate the process.[/quote]
