Madison Parents Want Bilingual Education Through 8th Grade

WKOW-TV:

A group of Madison parents want their children's intensive Spanish lessons to continue past 5th grade.

Currently, Nuestro Mundo's Dual Immersion Program is only available for K-5.

Last Saturday, parents presented a proposal to create Wisconsin's first dual immersion middle school.

Classrooms would be split between native English and Spanish speakers.

Parents worry without a middle school, bilingual students will lose their language skills.
