Parents voice support of axed dual-language program

LIGONIER — Parents with students in West Noble’s dual language program voiced their displeasure with the administration’s decision to cancel the program for next year. A group of 15-20 parents and other adults attended Monday’s school board meeting to plead for the program’s reinstatement.
A letter was sent home to parents April 19, which explained the district’s decision to cancel the program because of the lack of staff.
Parent Justin Blotkamp said the dual language program is “education at its finest” and that he was disappointed the program was going away. He said the program is important in a community as diverse as Ligonier and can help students facing language challenges as they move to the high school. Blotkamp said his wife was a teacher at the high school.
