On Wednesday, Oct. 4, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will visit Mark Twain Dual Language Academy in San Antonio, Texas, to underscore the importance of multilingual learning and how the U.S. Education Department is raising the bar to expand opportunities for multilingual education to all students in our public schools.

During the visit, Secretary Cardona will learn more about the school’s programs and efforts to provide students with the opportunity to develop the effective language skills, strong cognitive and academic skills, and cross-cultural understanding that will enable them to achieve their potential.

Afterwards, Secretary Cardona will give keynote remarks to the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents’ (ALAS) 20th Anniversary Education Summit. For more information about the summit, visit: www.alasedu.org/annual-summit.
