I agree with the consensus here regarding the proven SUCCESSFUL and BUDGET NEUTRAL Spanish Immersion program in WLWV. I realize times are tough and changes need to be made, but Spanish Immersion should not be the scapegoat it has become. Yes, there are start up costs, but parents have offered SEVERAL means to offset these costs. And after start-up costs, there are no additional costs -- a kindergarten class is a kindergarten class, plain and simple. In fact, they get more education for the same price... definitely what I want for my kids and my community!
