More than twice as many English-speaking students as there are spots for them have signed up to participate in the new dual-immersion program at Davey Jackson Elementary School.
With a lottery scheduled for early June to determine who gets to participate, some parents are anxious their kids won’t get in.
The program will start with two kindergarten classes and two first-grade classes, each with 10 native English speakers and 10 native Spanish speakers. Students will have math and Spanish language arts in Spanish and will learn social studies, science and English language arts in English, spending about half of every day in their native language and the other half in a new one.
