We have a choice between, charter school, public, private, or a religious school. We do NOT believe in homeschooling, they must go to a school. We believe in zero tolerance, and sanctions. They will be punished for not going to school. They MUST attend a school. We have a bilingual education, to help the students who are not seeking English taught education, so they will be taught in their native languages until they’re prepared to attend classes that are taught in the English language.
