After presenting our survey results to Jan Christensen, Superintendent of Redwood City School District, we now have a road map of what needs to happen next!
May - Collect information from area MI programs regarding budget/costs and curriculum
June - Present RWC MI program proposal to the Superintendent
August - Present proposal to the RWC School Board
We are very excited to get working on this and are hopeful to have more good news to share by middle of this summer.
In the meantime, we are gathering together stories from families in the area about their school experiences:
- Are you considering moving to/from Redwood City because of schools?
- Is your child enrolled in an immersion program that is not your first language?
- Why do you want a Mandarin immersion program in RWC?
Please share your story with us! You can respond in the comments below or email rwcmandarin@gmail.com.
We want to be as informed as possible when we present to the superintendent and school board. Forward this request on to anyone you know with a story to share.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
