Introducing a dual-language middle school in SE DC, where none currently exists, would be a monumental asset for both DCPS and the wider community. This initiative would attract and retain families, fostering greater diversity and inclusion. DCPS would strengthen its reputation and potentially inspire future dual-language educators. Simultaneously, this would address educational inequity in SE DC empowering the local community through enhanced educational opportunities, potential economic benefits, and the celebration of linguistic diversity. Such a school could serve as a community hub, fostering stronger family engagement and ultimately contributing to a more connected and harmonious city by bridging linguistic and cultural divides.
