California prepares bilingual classes for 35000 children this fall
In California a federal funded test project will enroll about 35 thousand students in bilingual programs across five schools this fall. Ramiro Garcia of Los Angeles schools notes non English literacy gaps while Gil Martinez says the state must expand funding and expand bilingual education beyond early 1990s English only rules for a large Mexican American population. The task force estimates about half a million students have a dominant language other than English and will push for more state funds for districts willing to implement bilingual instruction.
