[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has avoided answering questions about the future of immersion programs. At this point, they have not said they are changing, but I would expect when they review boundaries for elementary schools, they will be reviewing and likely changing immersion programs.

But to specifically answer your question, at this point, I would assume French immersion will be continuing at SCES and SSIMS.

Spanish immersion at SSIMS will likely end, as most of the students in that program came from Rolling Terrace Elementary and that school has been rezoned to Takoma Park MS.[/quote]

So where will these Spanish immersion students go for MS now? Westland?[/quote]

I'm not so sure about the future of middle school Spanish immersion for the dual immersion kids.  Rolling Terrace is a neighborhood dual immersion program.  I would think the only meaningful way to continue Spanish for them would be to offer it at TPMS, but I've not heard that mentioned.[/quote]

Westland MS is in Region 1 and has Spanish immersion. Alternatively students could articulate to White Oak MS but that’s now outside the region. [/quote]

Newport Mill MS is also in Region 1 and has Spanish immersion[/quote]

TWI is a whole school model so if TT wanted kids at RTES to continue it, he would have zoned them to a MS that offers immersion. They are going to TPMS and no plans have been announced to offer it there, so I seriously doubt it will happen.

My gut is that TT is on track to end [b]all immersion programs [/b](in the name of access/equity) and the first ones to be removed in 2027 will be TWI (which Mcps has poorly implemented and kids are scoring badly in).[/quote]

But he is proposing creating a bunch of mandarin programs in high schools[/quote]
