Ana Lafuente, a teacher at TEF Medel School in District U-46, told the meeting that the district's dual-language program provides students "an incredible opportunity" to improve bilingualism and learn about other cultures.
Lafuente identified herself as a social studies and Spanish-as-a-foreign-language teacher originally from Elche, Spain who is in her fourth year teaching in the district. "Trabajo para el programa dual y es verdad que me parece una oportunidad increíble para que los estudiantes puedan mejorar el bilingüismo con todas las oportunidades que les brindamos nosotros como maestros desde España," she said.
Her remarks were brief and focused on classroom benefits. In a second, partly unintelligible turn she added in mixed English and Spanish: "This program a los students to learable different cultures, helpking dank to be com more," which the transcript records verbatim. The comment did not include requests for specific policy changes, funding figures or formal motions.
Lafuente also said she was "proud to be part of you forty six, so is a Wonderful district," underscoring her personal support for the program. The meeting record does not show follow-up questions from officials or any formal action tied to the remarks.
