The time has come after months of hard work where we have dates to make our presentations to the school boards. Based on our numbers from the community and the receptivity of the school divisions, we have managed to book three presentations.
Thursday, November 14th with Pembina Trails School Division
Tuesday, November 19th with River East School Division
Monday, November, 25th with Winnipeg School Division
Eugenia and I will be doing the 10 minute presentation/question and answer and we invite any community members of the particular divisions to come and be a presence at the meeting. It would communicate to the board that there is community support for a Spanish Bilingual program in the public schools.
We are not sure when we will find out the results of the meeting and the boards' decision on whether they will implement the proposal. We believe that we have a strong chance, but we have to leave it up to the school board to decide. Some school divisions may be weeks to decide, others months.We will communicate with you as soon as we know.
Once the proposal is adopted, the school division would then start promoting the program with location and start date and grades. From there each of you would then need to contact the division and register your child. It is important for us to realize that if registered children do not meet the numbers requirement, the division will not implement the program, even if they approved the proposal.
Thank you for showing your interest and remember that when the time comes to register for the Spanish Bilingual programming in the school division, please consider doing so if it is in the best interest of your family to make this proposal a reality.
