As part of their FY 2017-18 budget, Wayland School Superintendent Paul Stein and the School Committee announced a proposed bilingual education program to start in kindergarten and be added progressively at subsequent grade levels each year. Students would be taught their subjects in both English and Spanish.

This week on The Buzz, Susan Wagner will interview Superintendent Stein about the proposed program. In addition, the two heads of world languages, Klara Sands from the Middle School and Melissa Bryant from the High School will join in the discussion.

Topics will include: An explanation of the bi-lingual program and its benefits. Who can sign up for it? When, where and how would the program be rolled out? Why Spanish as opposed to another language? What other school districts have such a program and what have the results been? How much would the program cost Wayland taxpayers as it’s rolled out?
