Hmong, Punjabi language classes planned for Central High
by Andrea Castillo
October 7, 2016
Hmong and Punjabi language classes are coming to Central High School, thanks to a grassroots effort as leaders of both communities teamed up.
More than 300 people have signed an online petition in support of the initiative on the website for Jakara Movement, a local Punjabi youth leadership nonprofit group.
Other than English, Spanish, Punjabi and Hmong are the top three languages spoken by Central High students.
…Central Unified School Board member Terry Cox led the push to add the language classes. At the meeting on Sept. 27, board members listened to a presentation about the classes, including a timeline for implementation. Next, the board needs to adopt curriculum for the classes and hire a teacher for each language. They’ll have to adopt course materials and outlines before adding the classes to the school’s master schedule to offer them by next fall.
