A San Diego charter school has the green light from San Diego Unified trustees to remove its German immersion program, despite parents’ request for more oversight of the school.
The change approved Wednesday evening will see Albert Einstein Academies switch from its German-immersion model to a German-language program, postpone the opening of its high school and move its administrative office.
Einstein had been founded as the first German-immersion International Baccalaureate school in the county, serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
The school was already not performing German immersion in the school, so the changes would bring the school into compliance with its charter.
If the school remained non-compliant, the district would have no other option than to begin steps to revoke its charter, said Deidre Walsh, San Diego Unified’s director of charter schools.
Unless the school came into compliance, the district would have to issue a notice of violation. The school would then be given only 60 or 90 days to try and correct the issue — which it has tried to do already but can’t.
