A language controversy is brewing at Hempstead Middle School over an announcement that was made by the school’s principal.

Students said Principal Amy Lacey told kids over the intercom that they could no longer speak Spanish while in class.

KHOU 11 News has learned that Lacey is now on paid administrative leave while the district investigates.

According to students, Lacey made the announcement back on Nov. 12. It took more than two weeks for a letter to be sent home by the superintendent. The letter that went home on Dec. 2 stated that “neither the district or any campus has any policy prohibiting the speaking of Spanish.”
