Greece begins Arabic literacy instruction at Buckman Heights
What happened
The district is in the first year of an Arabic literacy program at Buckman Heights for students whose home language is Arabic. The program supports literacy in Arabic alongside English; officials said it is not a dual-language immersion program.
Why it matters to families
This adds language instruction for Arabic-speaking students at Buckman Heights after enrollment crossed the state threshold that requires the district to offer it.
The evidence
At the Nov. 4 meeting, a board member reported that Arabic-speaking enrollment passed the state-law threshold in 2025–26 and that the district's first-year Arabic literacy program is located at Buckman Heights. The discussion described the instruction as building home-language Arabic literacy alongside English, not as two-way Arabic-English instruction.
