decided to keep the district’s dual language program Curtis Null announced that the agenda item was being pulled before it went to a vote The decision by Null led to an ovation in the audience when it was announced The program was being looked at to possibly be discontinued with the district citing lower enrollment and budget concerns as a reason for the potential Over 80 parents showed up to the meeting Tuesday night expressing frustration over what they call a lack of transparency in the district’s plan to phase out the program Curtis Null announced the item had been pulled before going to a vote While the recommendation for discontinuing the program was pulled Null emphasized there are problems within the program that needs to be fixed this does not come out of nowhere that we’re having this conversation we have problems within this program that we have to fix or we will be back here at some point,” Null said The dual language program in Conroe ISD has been a key educational initiative that promotes bilingualism by pairing Spanish-speaking students with English-speaking students The program benefits families by fostering cultural exchange and language skills rumors about the program’s possible removal began circulating when the Conroe ISD Board of Trustees published an agenda item mentioning the discontinuation of the program were alarmed when they found out through informal channels rather than direct communication from the school district It was upsetting to hear about the program’s possible end without having a chance to discuss it or understand the reasons behind it.” The dual language program has provided several benefits to students and the community “It’s not just about learning a second language It’s about learning how to learn and becoming better problem solvers.” While the district claims that removing the program would save $1.2 million parents have questioned the accuracy of these numbers arguing that the real financial impact may be much smaller parents launched petitions and mobilized to protect the program Mike’s petition garnered over 1,200 signatures He believes the district’s decision lacks proper community input “There’s been no communication with parents or teachers We need a voice in decisions that impact our children’s future.” Conroe ISD’s Statement on Dual Language Program Conroe ISD provided insight into the decision to reconsider the continuation of its Two-Way Immersion Dual Language Program The district explained the program’s structure and the challenges it faces: “Conroe ISD’s Two-Way Immersion Dual Language Program is currently available at seven campuses across the district This version of a Dual Language Program establishes classroom cohorts in kindergarten that are comprised 50% of students who speak English as a first language and 50% of students who speak Spanish as a first language These students learn not only academic content but also become fluent in both languages as they progress through the elementary grades district administration has made several adjustments in an attempt to increase this program’s overall success and participation enrollment continues to decline beginning in the third grade In analyzing staffing issues directly and indirectly related to the Two-Way Immersion Dual Language Program there has been an increased number of vacancies for bilingual teachers across the district that go unfilled or filled with emergency-permitted teachers Because the Two-Way Immersion Dual Language Program requires more bilingual staff these teachers could fill some of those bilingual teacher vacancies Due to these reasons and the potential to save $1.2 million as we work toward achieving a balanced budget district administration has made the difficult decision to recommend sunsetting the program.” Ricky Muñoz is a passionate multimedia journalist at KPRC 2 dedicated to telling impactful stories that matter to the Houston community A proud graduate of the

Conroe father and his son frustrated The video starts out with an altercation between two 7th grade students at Moorhead Junior High School Jace says the fight was the result of excessive bullying by a group of students that had reached it’s peak when one of the bullies pushed him and the fight broke out Jace and his father Stewart spoke exclusively to KPRC 2’s Deven Clarke and explained that during the process of the teacher breaking up the fight The video appears to show the teacher striking Jace multiple times and slamming him What the family says makes matters even worse is that after a school administrator admitted the teacher was wrong Conroe ISD is now defending the teachers actions after his father filed a formal complaint the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office is refusing charges Conroe ISD sent us the following statement: The Conroe ISD Police Department investigated a complaint from a parent who requested to file charges of assault against a teacher following the incident A complete and thorough investigation was conducted by a detective with assistance from a campus police officer This investigation included but was not limited to the review of cell phone video taken by a witness to the event interviews of multiple independent witnesses Conroe ISD Police determined that no charges should be filed the evidence was forwarded to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office Public Integrity Unit for an independent review After reviewing the evidence and justifications applicable under Chapter 9 of the Texas Penal Code the District Attorney’s Office agreed that no charges should be filed A relevant portion of Chapter 9 of the Texas Penal Code provides defenses to conduct that would otherwise be criminal in cases where an actor reasonably believes that his intervention is immediately necessary to protect a third person Chapter 9.62 of the Texas Penal Code reads as follows: the teacher intervened when one of the students used deadly force on another via a respiratory restraint (chokehold around the neck) and the student refused to release his grip creating an extremely dangerous situation requiring immediate action While it is deeply unfortunate that one of our dedicated educators was placed in this difficult situation we are grateful the teacher chose to intervene to protect the student who was being choked The Montgomery County District Attorney’s office sent us this statement: CISD Police Department thoroughly investigated the incident including interviews with multiple witnesses and the students involved After reviewing the facts and applicable law CISD PD concluded that no criminal charges were warranted and referred the matter to our office for additional review After independently evaluating the evidence we agreed with their conclusion: the teacher’s actions did not constitute criminal conduct under Texas law Section 9.62 of the Texas Penal Code allows for the use of reasonable force—but not deadly force—by someone entrusted with the care or supervision of a person when the force is necessary to further the special purpose or maintain discipline the teacher intervened during a physical altercation in which one student placed another in a respiratory restraint (a chokehold) and created a dangerous situation requiring immediate action The teacher acted to protect students and restore safety and acted within the provisions of Section 9.62 of the Texas Penal Code as well as Section 9.33 We understand that the parent involved is upset Our office and CISD PD tried to discuss the legal reasoning behind this decision to the parent those efforts did not result in a productive exchange it is our duty to apply the law to the facts as they are Stewart Dunaway says he has now removed Jace and his other son from Conroe ISD and will now be homeschooling them He adds he’s planning further legal action against the district and wants the teacher removed from the classroom The National
