[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 100% sure it is due to budget issues.   :( [/quote]
100% sure? How can say that? We shouldn't be left to guess. [/quote]

Well, bussing the kids all around the county don't come cheap.

Also, it adds to crowding in schools with the programs and drains lower performing schools of students, creating an imbalance.[/quote]
They should be opening more of these language immersion programs exclusively in Title 1 schools. That would really have am impact across the board. [/quote]

Not necessarily.  Then many of those schools would no longer be Title I and would lose federal funding for resources.  But it would be a false assessment of the school as a whole, since these non-FARMs kids would be the immersion students who don't live there.  This of course is based on the reality that parents who apply for immersion are by and large not eligible for FARMs.[/quote]

Two of the immersion schools are currently title 1 schools- Burnt Mills and Rolling Terrace- I guess news of immersion programs has reached the "poor". [/quote]
