“A year after adopting what may have been the first school district policy requiring some principals to speak Spanish, the Dallas school board has decided to loosen the requirement.

After rejecting one board member’s proposal to scrap the Spanish-language requirement completely, the panel instead voted 6-2 on Oct. 26 for a compromise proposal that allows for other elementary school staff members, such as an assistant principal or a counselor, to count as a school’s bilingual administrator.”
