On December 10th at 5pm, the Eanes ISD Board of Trustees will meet and vote to determine if the current Spanish immersion "Futuro" pilot will continue. Currently, this pilot program begins in kindergarten and continues through 2nd grade. This vote will determine if children in grades K-2 will continue on and if it should extend immersion instruction into additional grades.

We would like to show the support of all the families, teachers, and community members who want to see this program continue forward. We need your support! There is potential for this program to end. Families who enroll a student in the program are committing to enroll the student in the program for its entirety to receive the full benefit and continuity of language immersion throughout the elementary grades.

Please sign this petition to show your support in the continuation of this program in Eanes ISD. We will deliver this list to Board of Trustee members on December 10th. Please feel free to forward this petition on to anyone who you know is a supporter!

Thank you for your consideration,

Eanes ISD Spanish Immersion Supporters

We need more programs like this not less. Stop cutting the good stuff and fix the budget elsewhere.

Ridiculous to even consider cutting this mid-stream. We chose this school specifically for the immersion track.

Such a great program. It would be a total waste to stop it now when the kids are finally getting the hang of it.

Learning a second language is a huge advantage for these kids. Keep it going.
