Elementary schools offer bilingual classes
When Jessi Wong attended elementary school, it was against the rules to speak Spanish.
Now, she is the coordinator of bilingual, ESL and migrant education for New Braunfels ISD.
Wong has seen the old attitudes about using Spanish in classrooms change as the demand and need for bilingual education rises.
Both New Braunfels and Comal independent school districts offer bilingual education at the elementary school level, and are working to implement, transition or expand their dual-language programs that both districts say will benefit students and parents greatly.
