   MALDEN — A proposal that would have established the state’s first
   charter school to immerse students in a Native American language will not
   move forward.

   However, a charter school previously proposed for Fall River that's now
   being proposed for Brockton is among the list of five groups that have been
   invited to submit final applications, according to a media release Tuesday
   from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

   The proposed kindergarten-to-Grade 5 Weetumuw Wôpanâak Charter School
   that would have opened in Falmouth in August 2015 was not on that list. If
   it had been approved, enrollment would have been open to students in Cape
   Cod, and Plymouth and Bristol counties, with Somerset, Swansea, Westport
   and Taunton listed among the potential sending communities.
