Community members and concerned parents gathered at West High School to discuss district plans to close the racial gap in student learning

Madison residents gathered Tuesday night at West High School for the first in a series of public meetings to discuss Madison Metropolitan School District’s (MMSD) plan to address the district’s achievement gap in student learning.

In the school’s library, community members, concerned parents and MMSD employees formed small groups to share feedback and ideas regarding key programs and initiatives proposed in the plan.

The Madison Metropolitan School District will hold information sessions for Dual Language Immersion programs for the 2012-13 school year, with the first community-wide information session this Sunday, Feb. 19 at 3:30 p.m. at Centro Hispano.

DLI programs offer academic instruction in both Spanish and English with a goal of full academic and cultural literacy in both languages for every student.
