Baltimore County Superintendent Sets Universal Bilingual Goal

 

The Baltimore Sun (3/21, Knezevich, Sun) reports, "Baltimore County schools Superintendent Dallas Dance plans to issue digital devices to middle- and high-school students and wants all children in the school system to graduate bilingual, believing it will make them globally competitive, he said in the county's first state of the schools address Thursday." The Sun adds that Dance "hopes to see kindergartners learning world languages and older students carrying electronic devices within the next five years, he said in an interview Thursday. ... Dance said he can't yet estimate the cost of his plans, but noted that the system spends $20 million a year on instructional materials and resources."
