Tri-Cities school district is giving kindergartners an early start on a second language

Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal talks about his plans to make dual language education a priority for the state. He said Pasco is a model other districts look to.

When school starts later this month, dozens more Pasco students will be offered the chance to learn a second language.

Kindergarten students at six schools — four more than last year — will start learning in English and Spanish, with the aim of mastering both before reaching middle school.
