<p>The Natrona County School District board of trustees on
Monday night advanced a proposed policy to support dual-language
immersion programs.</p><p>The board sent the motion to its policy committee for public readings — the next step before it becomes district policy, <span>said Michelle Wallace-Frank, <span>executive assistant to the superintendent</span></span>.</p>
<p>The
proposal would clarify the board's support for dual-language immersion
for all interested students in grades K-5. To start a new program, a
school must demonstrate strong parental support, consensus among the
school that the program is wanted, viable enrollment numbers and
adequate available resources.</p><p>The board passed another motion to allow <a href="http://trib.com/news/local/education/chinese-and-english-dual-language-program-grows-in-casper/article_f94160f0-be6c-55b2-8438-5afcddc290be.html">Chinese immersion classes at Paradise Valley Elementary</a> to
remain larger than the standard 18-student class. Students moving or
switching schools will be a factor as the program grows, the motion
said. Loading early grades with more students will help mitigate
fluctuating class sizes.</p>
