Quote:Arabic Language Program Discontinued in Mansfield ISD
MANSFIELD (WBAP News) - The Arabic language program has been discontinued in the Mansfield ISD. The district was notified by the U.S. Department of Education last week that they're request to change the grant proposal for the program was rejected. In essence, the district wanted to delay full implementation of the program. The federal grant called for it to start this year.
The district is not appealing the decision.
"It is clear to me that MISD and the Department of Education will be unable to agree on the specifics of this grant's implementation," MISD Superintendent Bob Morrison said in a press release.
Back in February, about 200 MISD parents protested the program, prompting the district to take a step back and review the program.
The five-year program grant was for $1.3 million.
