[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have some serious concerns about having an immersion class in each school as an option. 
 Part of what makes key and Claremont a “school” is that everything is dual language. It isn’t just in the classrooms. And that brings a sense of community and dual language to the school. If only a couple classes are immersion, there will be a neighborhood school- and immersion. Two tracks of school didn’t work at drew because one program will become subordinate to the other. The immersion class will be full of poorer ELL students, the neighborhood full of whiter kids and non Spanish speaking poorer kids. [/quote]

This was one of the concerns expressed last fall, that not having an entire school Ben a dedicated immersion program would make those satellite locations less attractive, and thus they might not be able to fill them.  That’s why the discussion back then was to phase it in slowly, try a couple of sites with just K/1 classes and then see if there was enough demand to continue the next grade level at each site each subsequent year.[/quote]
