Ga. school district moves 54 refugee students to separate program
Hall County Schools Logo
GAINESVILLE — Fifty-four Central American refugee students, some of whom cannot read or write, have been moved from their schools into a separate program at a Hall County public school, Lanier Charter Career Academy. The students, who crossed the border in precarious conditions to escape violence in their home countries, do not speak English. Their Spanish dialects are unfamiliar to the district's Spanish teachers, and some have had little schooling.
