Anybody tried to convince the district to add another foreign language?

D learned that 2 years of world language was required in HS and she was not interested in any of the languages offered, but if she had to learn a language-Japanese, which was not offered. The HS school does allow students to take classes online for credit and provided where students had taken online classes before. I looked up the online class offerings, found Japanese and she was able to start receiving HS credits as an 8th grader, put in her 2 years and done. Her HS and online HS worked together well and I was kept informed. The process was smooth and we did not pay any extra. Japanese does show up as HS credit on her HS transcript. If you HS does not allow students to take online HS classes, you could look into getting the school to allow for students to take online classes for high school credit. Even if students are not interested in the same language as your student, there may be other offerings that students may want to take that are not offered at your school, or do not work due to scheduling. Some schools may be more open to it than others. Just an idea-worked well for us.
