Seventh Grade French May Return to Mt. Sinai
Due to increased enrollment projections, French I would return in 2012-13 school year.
The Mt. Sinai school district may bring back French I for seventh graders in the 2012-13 school year, if enrollment projections gathered from surveys play out, according to a report in the Village Beacon Record.
Classes are typically not offered when enrollment falls below 20, and the number for French I this school year was at 17, so the class was not offered. The district sent out surveys to gauge the interest in next year's seventh-graders for the language, and results showed that 22 students were interested.
"If those 22 kids hold, they will have French in September," superintendent Anthony Bonasera said.
