The ASL program is very important. Having experience in ASL will help these students go on and get degrees in audiology, speech pathology, special education etc.

i took asl for 2.5 years in high school at west and see it as an equal language learning experience. ASL is its own language with its own culture, rules, and history that should be shared and respected. What I learned in high school has come to help me in my adult life with professional and casual communication.

ASL is one of the most beautiful languages I've ever come across in this world. This school is making a horrible decision if they are actually considering defunding the class. Everyday I see my friends content and excited to go to their ASL class, why defund a class that makes so many youths so happy and excited to learn? These days classes that make kids happy and excited are so rare, Ms Poll is so sweet and talented, I am not in her class but she never fails to smile at me and my friends every time we see her.

I love ASL it is my favorite class EVER, and if they actually get rid of it I will honestly be so sad and upset. Ms.Poll has been the nicest and most understanding teacher all year. ASL is one of the most interesting and impactful languages I have ever studied.

Please save ASL at West High! My daughter had learned so much through this program. She is considering an ASL profession due to the influence of Ms. Poll and the ASL program. Ms. Poll has been my daughter's most influential teacher at West!

This is a really incredible class and inspires students to help those who are hard of hearing. A loss of it would decrease our school’s inclusivity
