Before the start of summer holidays, Eugenia and I had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Education's office. The meeting was a positive meeting and our ideas about the proposal were well received. They didn't answer our transportation or catchment questions. We were reminded once again that though people think this is a great idea and want to support us, many of those same people have little to do with the actual decision of implementing a Spanish bilingual program.
The decision comes down to the approval of the school board. We know there are school board chairpersons that are aware of our proposal and think that this could be a positive program for our city, but arranging a meeting with them during the summer holidays is almost impossible.....
Anyways, the meeting went well and we were able to let a few more people know about the proposal. Hopefully this networking and spreading the word will help move this along to a reality.
