Mar. 4 As North Texas prepares to accept larger numbers of refugee families in the coming months, the future of a Fort Worth school for children in those families is in question.
The International Newcomer Academy is a school for middle and high school students who are recent immigrants to the United States and have limited English skills. Fort Worth school officials announced plans earlier this year to move the district s administrative offices into the building that houses the academy at the beginning of the next school year. Officials haven t yet determined where the academy will be moved, whether it will remain a single site or if its students will be split up among several campuses.
