The Hall County school district wants more native speaking Spanish teachers. If the district could find enough teachers, it could expand its World Language Academy — where students take academic courses in Spanish (and other languages), Superintendent Will Schofield has emphasized. The district is hosting a group of university students and a professor for three weeks this summer as part of the WLA summer camps — and as part of the continuing effort to develop a “pipeline” for those native-speaking Spanish teachers, Schofield said.
