Parent asks board to allow TWEED program continuity after in‑district move
Summary
A Verona parent requested that her daughters be allowed to continue attending their current TWEED Spanish immersion placement if the family moves to a different attendance boundary within the district and space is not available at the new school's TWEED program.
Tim Larson, a resident and parent in the Verona Area School District, told the board his family is moving within the district and asked that his two youngest daughters be allowed to continue attending the TWEED Spanish immersion program at Glacier Edge until space becomes available at Sugar Creek, which serves their new address.
Larson said the family values the bilingual program and does not seek special busing; he offered to provide transportation himself "until they are able to transfer." He said he discussed options with the district registrar and was told there is no space at Sugar Creek's TWEED program if they move to that attendance area.
The comment was taken during the public comment portion of the meeting; the transcript does not record a formal board response or decision on the request during the meeting.
