Parents ask Mt. Diablo School Board to pause plan ending Spanish immersion program at Bancroft Elementary

Parents packed a Mount Diablo Unified School District board meeting Tuesday night, urging trustees to pause plans to phase out a two-way Spanish immersion program at Bancroft Elementary School. Families presented the board with a petition signed by roughly 300 people asking district leaders to reconsider the decision. Parents said they were blindsided by the announcement.
