[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the the dearth of Spanish-speaker kindergarten apps to Key the last couple of years really undermined the argument that its current location is optimal. Even putting aside the neighborhood need for its current building, something needs to be done to increase interest from that community if APS insists on sticking to its current model.[/quote] +1 Given the wait list from English-speaking families will they at some point reassess the dual immersion approach? There are plenty of other immersion programs that don't require a balance of English speakers and speakers of the target language (e.g. French immersion and Chinese immersion elementary schools)[/quote] APS's principle reason for having immersion is to close the achievement gap for native Spanish speakers. They are not going to change the model b/c that would not further the closing the achievement gap goal.[/quote]
