Montgomery County Aims to Fill In Gaps for Teen Immigrants – Maryland
Tagged: Maryland, Montgomery County, studentPosted on: March 27th, 2007“Yesterday, Montgomery County school officials announced a pilot program tailored to the specific needs of students such as Lisama: recent immigrants who have had little formal education although they are reaching the age when most native-born Americans graduate from high school.
“Over there, people dont think school is a big deal,” Lisama said. “Even if people get their degree, theres no work.”
The program, Students Engaged in Pathways to Achievement, would begin this summer at Wheaton High School”
