Title: Foreign-Language Programs Stung by Budget Cuts
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2011/06/01/33language.h30.html?tkn=WTWFchcOQRKDxrojrffGc%2F0CywCl7dEc7+5Y&cmp=clp-edweek Foreign-Language Programs Stung by Budget Cuts By Mary Ann Zehr June 1, 2011 Congress substantially reduced funds to support the teaching of foreign languages to K-12 and college students in the budget deal struck for fiscal 2011. Foreign-language advocates are relieved, though, that the $27 million Foreign Language Assistance Program authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which gives grants directly for K-12 programs that teach languages deemed critical to U.S. security and economic needs, emerged from the budget talks unscathed. The 14 small programs in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 that support language and international education, authorized by the Title VI and Fulbright-Hays sections of the law, were funded at $126 million in fiscal 2010. They weren’t mentioned in the 2011 budget legislation approved by Congress in April, but a chart of the cuts in the 2011 budget posted on the website of the House Appropriations Committee said that those programs could receive a cut of $50 million, or 40 percent of their budgets. The final budget released last month showed the programs will be funded with nearly $76 million in fiscal 2011, which means that the U.S. Department of Education agreed to the 40 percent cut.

Title: Educator Seeks To Open Three-Language Bilingual School in Orange County
Body: From http://www.ocregister.com/news/school-302421-bilingual-brownson.html Educator seeks to open O.C. bilingual school By SCOTT MARTINDALE May 28, 2011 Ever since he began teaching two decades ago, Steven Brownson has dreamed of opening a bilingual Spanish and Chinese elementary school for Orange County students. In fall 2012, Brownson hopes to turn his vision into reality by opening the Orange County Bilingual Academy, a K-5 public charter school that gives students an opportunity to learn either English and Spanish, or English and Mandarin Chinese. Brownson also wants to give students an option to learn a third language after school. Orange County is home to a smattering of bilingual public schools, commonly known as dual immersion. But they teach one other language, typically Spanish. Brownson's school would be the first in the county to offer the three-language model.
