graduation. For those students with documented dyslexia or other extreme
language learning issues, we waive the 3rd year. The State of Louisiana
requires that students who want to be eligible for the TOPS program (helps
pay tuition at state universities) have 2 years of a second language so this
allows those students to still maintain their requirements.

Subject: Foreign Language Accommodations- Dyslexia
Dear Colleagues,
I am researching whether independent schools have a practice or policy
for allowing alternative avenues to meet foreign language requirements
(American sign language, cultural courses, waiving the requirement, etc)
if a student has documented dyslexia. I would appreciate direct
responses (smiths@bolles.org) if this applies in your school.
Thank you very much.
