En una encuesta nacional realizada en septiembre por Marist Poll para National Public Radio y PBS News, el 44 por ciento de los votantes registrados dijo que la inmigración era un factor decisivo para decidir a quién apoyar como presidente. Otro 43 por ciento dijo que era un factor importante. En esta serie, examinamos qué atrajo recientemente a inmigrantes a las Highlands, el proceso que siguen para quedarse y el efecto en las escuelas locales. Cuando Renata Saldaña tenía 17 años, ella y su hermana menor fueron a la escuela de Garrison para inscribirse. Era 2017 y acababan de llegar de Ecuador, donde se habían quedado más tiempo del permitido por sus visados de turista y se habían mudado al apartamento de sus padres en Philipstown. Como recuerda Renata, llevó una semana darse cuenta de que estaban en la escuela equivocada, que Garrison sólo llega hasta el octavo grado y que necesitaban inscribirse unos kilómetros más arriba en la Ruta 9D, en Haldane High School. "No hablábamos inglés", dijo, y añadió que las escuelas a veces dependían de conserjes hispanohablantes para traducir. "Era difícil". Aquel año, Renata y su hermana eran dos de los 11 estudiantes registrados como English Language Learners (ELL) en Haldane y, de ese grupo, las dos únicas inscritas en la escuela secundaria. El distrito tenía un único profesor de ELL. Siete años después, Haldane tiene 20 estudiantes de inglés entre sus 800 estudiantes y ha agregado un segundo maestro de ELL, dijo Carl Albano, superintendente interino del distrito. Lo que está sucediendo en Haldane está sucediendo en escuelas de todo el Valle del Hudson. En el distrito escolar de Wappingers, el número de estudiantes ELL se ha triplicado en los últimos 10 años a más de 330, aunque ese sigue siendo un porcentaje minúsculo en un distrito con más de 10.000 estudiantes, dijo Michelle Cardwell, superintendente adjunta de currículo e instrucción. Ella dijo que el crecimiento de la población ELL no ha puesto a prueba los recursos del distrito. Los distritos de Arlington, Brewster, Carmel, Poughkeepsie y Newburgh registran aumentos similares. El motor del crecimiento son personas que huyen de las dificultades económicas y la convulsión política en América Latina, dijo Julie Sugarman, directora asociada de investigación K-12 en el Instituto de Política Migratoria en Washington, DC. En Haldane, el 50 por ciento de los estudiantes de ELL son latinos, según datos de educación del estado. En Beacon, son latinos aproximadamente el 80 por ciento, en Wappingers, alrededor del 75 por ciento, y en Poughkeepsie y Brewster, alrededor del 95 por ciento. Newburgh tenía 1.800 estudiantes ELL el año pasado, en comparación con los 1.500 de hace una década. El distrito informó que la mayoría de los recién llegados son de Honduras, Perú, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala y Haití. En Wappingers, muchos son de Guatemala. Una excepción al crecimiento de los estudiantes de inglés como segundo idioma es el distrito escolar de Beacon, donde la matrícula se ha mantenido constante: 75 hace una década y 70 en la actualidad entre los 2.400 estudiantes del distrito. La razón es el coste de la vida, dijo Sagrario Rudecindo-O'Neill, superintendente adjunta de currículo y apoyo estudiantil. "Si nos fijamos en los alquileres aquí, no se puede comprar nada", dijo. "No tenemos hoteles cerca ni alquileres a corto plazo". Kathryn Lokmaci, quien enseña ELL en la escuela primaria de South Avenue, recordó que hace varios años algunos estudiantes ELL se vieron obligados a abandonar sus hogares en Main Street por la construcción de nuevos condominios y "tuvieron que mudarse a otras áreas que eran más baratas, como Newburgh o Poughkeepsie", dijo. "Eso fue triste". Se desconoce cuántos estudiantes de inglés como segunda lengua son indocumentados. Los distritos matriculan a los estudiantes sin tener en cuenta su estatus legal; la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos dictaminó en 1982 en Plyler v. Doe que las escuelas públicas deben aceptar a i...

In a national survey conducted in September by Marist Poll for National Public Radio and PBS News, 44 percent of registered voters said immigration was a deciding factor in whom they support for president. Another 43 percent said it was an important factor. In this series, we examine what drew recent immigrants to the Highlands, the process they undergo to stay and the effect on local schools. Leer en español. When Renata Saldaña was 17, she and her younger sister showed up at the Garrison School seeking to enroll. It was 2017 and they had just come from Ecuador, overstaying tourist visas and moving to their parents' Philipstown apartment. As Renata recalls, it took a week to realize that they were at the wrong school, that Garrison only goes through eighth grade and that they needed to enroll a few miles up Route 9D at Haldane High School. "We spoke no English," she said, adding that the schools sometimes relied on Spanish-speaking janitors to translate. "It was hard." That year Renata and her sister were two of 11 English Language Learners (ELL) at Haldane and the only two enrolled at the high school. The district had one ELL teacher. Seven years later, Haldane has 20 English Language Learners among its 800 students and has added a second ELL teacher, said Carl Albano, the district's interim superintendent. What's happening at Haldane is happening at schools across the Hudson Valley. In the Wappingers school district, the number of ELL students has tripled over the last 10 years to more than 330, although that's still a tiny percentage in a district with over 10,000 students, said Michelle Cardwell, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. She said the growth of the ELL population has not strained district resources. The Arlington, Brewster, Carmel, Poughkeepsie and Newburgh districts report similar increases. Driving the growth are people fleeing economic hardship and political turmoil in Latin America, said Julie Sugarman, associate director for K-12 research at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. At Haldane, 50 percent of the English language learners are Latino, according to state education data. In Beacon, it's about 80 percent Latino, in Wappingers, about 75 percent, and in Poughkeepsie and Brewster, about 95 percent. Newburgh had 1,800 ELL students last year, up from 1,500 a decade ago. The district reported that most newcomers are from Honduras, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Haiti. In Wappingers, many are from Guatemala. An exception to the ELL growth is the Beacon school district, where enrollment has remained consistent: 75 a decade ago and 70 today among the district's 2,400 students. The reason is the cost of living, said Sagrario Rudecindo-O'Neill, the assistant superintendent of curriculum and student support. "If you look at the rents here, you can't buy anything," she said. "We don't have hotels nearby or short-term rentals." Kathryn Lokmaci, who teaches ELL at South Avenue Elementary School, recalled that several years ago some ELL students were forced out of their homes on Main Street to make way for condos and "had to relocate to other areas that were cheaper, like Newburgh or Poughkeepsie," she said. "That was sad." How many ELL students are undocumented is unknown. Districts enroll students without regard to their legal status; the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 in Plyler v. Doe that public schools must accept undocumented immigrants. That case was in the spotlight last year when some New York districts expressed concern about an influx of immigrants. In response, Attorney General Letitia James and Betty Rosa, the state education commissioner, issued a joint letter "to remind school administrators that all children and youth in New York between the ages of 5 and 21 have the right to a free public-school education," regardless of status. The influx has created a shortage of ELL teachers, prompting the Education Department to partner with local teaching progra...

#213 - Building A Murder Fence - Fishkill, New York

Small Town Murder

This week, in Fishkill, New York, we look at a murder from James' hometown, where a longtime friendship seemingly falls apart rapidly, leading to one of the worst scenes that we've talked about. Absolute brutality for what seems like very little motive, followed by an attempted cover up that just made it even worse. It's a mess, and we try our best to put the pieces together, but did they end up with the right people on the end? Along the way, we find out that not everyone knows they're at a crossroads, that four day long cocaine parties might be a bad idea, and that some things just don't burn away!
