Vista Unified pushes English immersion program

“The Vista Unified School District has all but given up on its dual-language strategy of educating Spanish-speaking students and has been moving to a “structured immersion” program to help them learn English more quickly, officials said last week.

The change comes roughly seven years after voters approved a ballot measure that outlawed bilingual education, but that allowed districts such as Vista Unified to continue the programs if parents signed waivers requesting them.”
