ISD 622 board authorizes new Spanish dual‑language immersion program at Carver Elementary
Summary
The ISD 622 School Board authorized establishing a Spanish dual‑language immersion program at Carver Elementary beginning with kindergarten in 2026–27, using a grow‑along model to reach full K–5 capacity and directing administrators to recruit staff and procure curriculum.
The Independent School District 622 School Board on March 17 authorized establishing a Spanish dual‑language immersion program at Carver Elementary beginning with kindergarten in the 2026–2027 school year.
The resolution, moved by Director Rosemork and seconded by Clerk Livingston, directs the district administration to implement a grow‑along model that will add one grade each year until the program reaches full K–5 capacity. It authorizes the administration to take necessary implementation steps, including personnel recruitment, procurement of curriculum and instructional resources, and oversight of enrollment and registration procedures.
Superintendent Tucci Osorio led the board discussion and presented an overview of the district’s immersion offerings and rationale for locating the expansion at Carver. The resolution text in the minutes emphasizes a phased approach to ensure instructional quality and programmatic continuity. The transcript does not include a recorded roll‑call vote for the immersion resolution in the minutes.
Board members scheduled additional planning work: Director Yener asked the board to set an April 14 work‑study session to include strategy and budget items relevant to program implementation. Administrators will return to the board with staffing and timeline details as those plans develop.
