The school board has voted, by a narrow margin, to close a local elementary school in Santa Rosa used mostly by Latino students and reopen it as a French language charter school, which will be attended by the child of a swing-vote school board member. One of the purposes of this school is that it will aid in "the preservation of the French language" (according to a letter in the newspaper). A French school will attract students and money from outside the district.
We're lucky that the school board members did not want to educate their children in Esparanto or Romulan.
