“At Cactus Elementary, 99.3 percent of students are Hispanic, and 77 percent are classified as limited English proficient, the highest rate in the state.
In sharp contrast, the teaching staff is 95.1 percent white and mostly non-Spanish-speaking, including Murphy.
So educators have turned to total English immersion - bypassing the state-mandated bilingual education - to teach the children. That’s partly out of necessity, said Cactus Elementary principal Carla Tafoya, because the state does not have enough qualified bilingual educators to go around.”
