> DALLAS A legal challenge could be in store for a new Dallas school
> district policy requiring some principals to become bilingual. The measure
> approved last night applies to schools where at least half of the students
> enrolled in the past three years had limited proficiency in English. The
> school district will pay for the bilingual training -- which in most cases
> would be Spanish.
> 
> The Dallas Independent School District is about two-thirds Hispanic.
> Administrators will have one year to enroll and three years to become
> proficient in that language. The group ProEnglish has said it would
> consider backing a legal challenge to the policy.
