We respectfully ask the Pocantico Hills Board of Education to support the World Language Program by instituting Option 3 as proposed by Carol Conklin-Spillane. Option 3 of the World Language Program was the third of three considerations presented by the School Superintendent at the March 21st Board Meeting.

Option 3:

Increasing staffing to 2.0 FTE

Providing a content-driven FLES Program in both French and Spanish K through 8

Extending language study to have classes meeting 4/6 cycle days in Middle School

Integrating language study into special areas

We the undersigned cannot support a budget that does not respect these parameters.
