Educators believe the early introduction of Creole is critical to the academic success of the predominantly Haitian student population because Creole is the language most often spoken in their households."

This is a brave and salutory event!  Haitian children deserve the opportunity not only to maintain their culture but to become literate in its language.  This school may be stretching its resources but, IMHO, for the right reason!
