The school district has officially approved the implementation of the Mandarin-English dual language program. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to this outcome through their thoughtful participation. We will monitor the progress of the curriculum development to ensure the program meets our shared expectations.
We, the undersigned, support the implementation of a Mandarin-English dual language program in the Hermosa Beach City School District to commence fall 2009.
The feedback regarding a Mandarin dual language program continues to demonstrate a strong desire for diverse academic opportunities within our schools. I am currently reviewing the administrative requirements for curriculum integration to ensure our proposal remains professional and thorough when presented to the board.

Why not? Hermosa schools need to get with the times. Other districts have had these programs for years.

Learning a second language early is the best way to do it. stop waiting around and add it to the curriculum.
