| January 10, 2005 | | Millie Hamner Reports | | Summit County, as a resort community, is faced with a number of challenges not typicallyl faced by larger, metro area communities. In particular, we have a highly mobile population and a significant and increasing number of children from other countries. Handling a myriad of languages, and integrating foreign children into our society, presents a need for additional funding as well as teacher time. Our ski slopes continue to serve a growing number of immigrants, and more and more businesses are staffed by foreign nationals. So, English as a Second Language has become a standard, and every popular class for young and old. Millie Hamner, who took over the school superintendant's job in 2004, outlined progress on two of the six major goals of the District in a recent article in the Summit Daily News. | |
