Newton schools have at least a half dozen foreign languages represented among their enrollments. The USD-373 Board of Education recently approved a three-year contract with Propio LS for translation services to meet the needs of those who might not be fluent in English. The service provides translation of more than 200 languages and the district will be billed based on monthly usage. When the need arises for a teacher or other staff member to communicate with a parent, Propio LS will translate via telephone.
