Mandatory Arabic Classes Coming To Mansfield

Mandatory Arabic Classes Coming To Mansfield « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth
"Some Students at Mansfield ISD schools could soon be learning Arabic as a required language.
The school district wants students at select schools to take Arabic language and culture classes as part of a federally funded grant.

The Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) grant was awarded to Mansfield ISD last summer by the U.S. Department of Education.

As part of the five-year $1.3 Million grant, Arabic classes would be mandatory at Cross Timbers Intermediate School and Kenneth Davis Elementary School"
