[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be better to just add an English-only program at CHEC.

That won't happen unless CHEC wants it to happen.[/quote] Meaning Principal Tukeva. Oddly, CHEC was English only until about 3 years ago. The supposedly bilingual only middle school started about 3 years ago with private money. It was only last year that they started to tout it as a bilingual only 6-12 school. It's also supposedly early college, AP offering but not passing, vocational education but we call beauty shops a career, onsite daycare for infants but supposedly kick out girls who have more than one baby, and now it's both a neighborhood boundary school and an application school.

Tukeva is a masterful fundraiser, public-private partnership building creator, and an accomplished Spin Doctor. But it's basically a charter-magnet hybrid in neighborhood school clothing. Like PPs have said, none of the ward 1 bilingual school assignments make sense.

DCPS doesn't care because Tukeva took over the problem child of Lincoln MS in return for matching funds for a new education campus.  The Oyster take over of Adams elementary happened around the same timeframe and freed DCPS from having to close Adams outright.

That was then, this is now. What is the DCPS strategy for dual language immersion programs?[/quote]
