Round Rock ISD stated transportation would have been provided and the initial decision was made to improve overall instruction and maximize resources. But after the outcry from more than 1,200 local residents, a reversal in decision was made.
ROUND ROCK, Texas – Round Rock resident, Lorena Zarate, believes the dual language program has been essential to her daughter, Marina’s, educational growth in Central Texas.
For many families in the district, which is more than 50% Hispanic and 60% economically disadvantaged, any small change can create a number of concerns when trying to master a new language. “To break apart a community solely based on their language is detrimental and would hurt these kids,” Kristan said. “Many of these families walk to school and work. They don’t have time to make other arrangements.”
“While we had originally planned to transition the program in 2023-2024, after hearing the passion and feedback from our Callison community and further consideration of the educational program in our district, the decision was made to keep the dual language program at Callison for the foreseeable future.”
