Port Isabel launches a bilingual education project titled We Speak Spanish and English as part of a nationwide pilot under Title VII of the ESEA. The district joined 76 programs, with initial funding of 10000 in 1969 to prepare a formal proposal.
The Port Isabel program won approval for a five year bilingual plan for 1970 71, adding kindergarten and five portable classrooms at Garriga Elementary. It expands first to third grade across the district with a special education unit, while limiting new entrants to kindergartners to assess effectiveness. The initiative follows federal and state legislation and cites UNESCO and Miami Coral Way as benchmarks for bilingual success.
