[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS understands just how successful and sought after the OWI programs are. OWI keeps a lot of families in the system that would go private without it. OWI has stood the test of time and is a huge accomplishment and source of pride for MCPS. It would be amazing to offer it in every region and I would love to support that effort. Much better and more likely option than ending a super successful and beloved program of 50 years! [/quote]

I wonder how possible it would be to offer in every region. It probably could happen most easily if they offered one language per region, but that seems like it could cause controversy. I am very in favor of the programs (especially Spanish) being spread out a little more equally across the county.

I wouldn’t say the program keeps too many families at MCPS. There are less than 300 spots offered each year and many families can’t afford private school.

I agree that these programs (generally) are a huge success and a highlight of MCPS. I wish they could offer more spots .[/quote]
Are there a lot of credentialed language teachers available?[/quote]
