When your brand new superintendent presents data to justify closing a dual language program that affects 40% of kids, majority of diverse T’s, and helps declining enrollment and the data is actually….good. #oops#saveDLI#thefutureisbilingual@MultilingualRI@DLICommunitySK
My son Tusz can be seen advocating for his dear DLI program. At the town council meeting, he shared his carpet theory-that if the threads of DLI were taken away, the carpet of our community would unravel. We love how much color the program contributes to the patterns of our town
TONIGHT AT 6: Parents tell me they are furious after the South Kingstown School District voted to end its Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program. This is despite the district hiring an independent consultant who recommended keeping it. Watch @NBC10 at 6 for more details.
I also need to call out our union on this. DLI teachers begged them to represent us. They refused to even put out a statement of support. Took our dues but treated us differently than other members. Oh, but it's ok because they have a social justice book club.🙄 @NEARhodeIsland
@projo hey Linda, any plans to run a story on the South Kingstown School committee cancelling the town's Dual Language program despite overwhelmingly positive results and parental approval?
Just listened to SK cut their #dli program tonight with a 4-3 vote. Chariho cut k-4 Spanish program and so did Westerly. All in one week. Who is next? Where are the priorities? Are we going backwards in time in South County??!! @MultilingualRI@AInfanteGreen@RIFLAonline
