Conroe ISD Superintendent Curtis Null received a standing ovation Tuesday after he announced he was withdrawing a recommendation to end the Two-Way Immersion Dual Language program and apologized to a packed house for the lack of transparency.

In an unexpected move on Tuesday night, Conroe ISD Superintendent Dr. Curtis Null pulled the administration's recommendation to sunset the district's dual language program. Null's decision to withdraw action to end the "highly desirable" program comes amid significant backlash from parents and teachers involved in the immersive English and Spanish learning curriculum environment.
