The Morgan County School District Board has recognized the critical need for enhanced support in its dual immersion program during their recent meeting on May 19, 2025. Board members discussed the challenges faced by dual immersion teachers, emphasizing the importance of equitable access to educational services for all students, similar to those in general education classrooms.

Key concerns were raised about the necessity for consistent and reliable support for teachers. It was highlighted that teacher assistants should remain in classrooms as planned, rather than being frequently reassigned to cover other duties. This inconsistency has been shown to negatively impact the quality of instruction and support provided to students.

The board acknowledged that as students progress through the dual immersion program, there is a pressing need for structured coordination to ensure their ongoing success. Members stressed that the program should not be treated as a temporary initiative but rather as a vital component of the educational framework, requiring a well-developed plan to guide its future.

In conclusion, the board reaffirmed that the Spanish global immersion program is a significant asset to the community, underscoring the importance of investing in its development to foster student achievement and engagement. The discussions from this meeting set the stage for future actions aimed at strengthening the program and ensuring its sustainability.
