NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WKBW) — There is a plan to help address the influx of children of asylum seekers in classrooms around the state. The State Department of Education is now looking to expand the ability for teachers to get certified in bilingual education. By the end of last month, 7 News knew that 66 students would be attending Maryvale Central Schools. As of August 23rd, the Cheektowaga Town Supervisor said more than 220 asylum seekers would be moving to Amherst, including nearly 50 children who would attend Sweet Home Schools.
