The Conroe ISD board of trustees will discuss and take action regarding the future of its dual language program at its Feb. 18 meeting.

Items worth mentioning

According to the meeting agenda, the board will discuss the possible discontinuation of the dual language program in the district. Currently, the program is offered at seven campuses including:
  • Creighton Elementary School
  • Anderson Elementary School
  • Patterson Elementary School
  • Bozman Intermediate School
  • Lamar Elementary School
  • Wilkerson Intermediate School
  • Deretchin Elementary School
The program begins in kindergarten and includes equal numbers of students who speak English and a first language, and Spanish as a first language, CISD communications director Sarah Blakelock said.

“Over the years, the district administration has made several adjustments in an attempt to increase this program's overall success and participation. However, enrollment continues to decline beginning in the third grade,” Blakelock said in a statement.
