Language Services Money Available

For bilingual families with children who are in Special Education and require information or an assessment in their native language, please note that each public school is allowed at least $550.00 per year as a part of the school's translation/interpretation plan. Each school should request these funds from the office of APS Translation/Interpretation Services. This money is to be used for translation and interpretation services only. Unfortunately, the deadline for applying for the yearly allowance has passed (Oct. 1999). But, the good news is that the public school can still request money from the program on a case by case basis by contacting the office directly. For more information, please call Tomás Butchart, Coordinator of the program at 256-4228.
