Eventually replacing the Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) program for English Learners (EL) in the district, the dual language program delivers instruction in both Spanish and English throughout the day. All Conrad Fischer students are eligible to participate, and applications are available to incoming Kindergarten students throughout the district.
