Abstract
Bilingual Education has been a controversial issue in the United States ever since the country started expanding westward and encountered different Native American tribes and Mexican natives. Programs for Bilingual Education within the school system have undergone a lot of change and growth throughout the years, but there is still a lot more progress that needs to be made. Taking a deeper look at a growing city, Indianapolis, Indiana, it becomes apparent that there is an overwhelming lack of bilingual education opportunities for the third largest ethnicity within the community. In a brochure, I focus on informing the Spanish speaking population in Indianapolis about Bilingual Education, its benefits, the legislation around it, and ways for these families to learn more and advocate for bilingual education within their community.
