Beginning 2017-18, class size requirements for kindergarten through third grade shall not apply to dual language immersion classes. Dual language immersion classes are classes in which at least one‑third of the students' dominant language is English and instruction involves both English and a target foreign language with a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of core content taught in the target foreign language in order to promote dual language proficiency for all students.
DPI is collecting a list of the K-3 dual language immersion classes in order to exlude those classes from average class size reports and applications.
This survey of Dual Language Immersion classes is to be completed by each LEA for school year 2017-18 to comply with Session Law 2017-57.
Please complete and submit by August 31, 2017. If you have questions about the survey, please contact Ozella Wiggins at ozella.wiggins@dpi.nc.gov or (919) 807-3721.
