Conroe ISD Superintendent Dr. Curtis Null pauses the plan to end the dual language program after community backlash.

Conroe ISD is scrapping plans to end its dual language program after parents have been fighting the school district to keep it.

CONROE, Texas — Board members with the Conroe Independent School District were set to vote on a measure that would end the district's dual language program, but after passionate testimony from students and community members, the vote was withdrawn by Curtis Null.

After reading the upcoming school board meeting agenda, community members involved in Conroe ISD's dual language program found out that the program may end.

Conroe ISD Superintendent Curtis Null proposed discontinuing the program because of a budget deficit, and also because of staffing shortages and a decline in enrollment in the program, but tabled that plan after pushback from community members.
