Kids Seeking Refuge Fill Oakland School Newcomer Programs

You might not have heard much about them lately, but children fleeing violence in Central America are still arriving in communities across California. In fact, the numbers of young people detained at the U.S.-Mexico border more than doubled this October and November, compared to a year ago. Those kids get released to family members or foster homes while they wait out the immigration process. But in the meantime, they're required to go to school. California school districts are trying to get a handle on where to put all those new students. As KQED's Zaidee Stavely reports from Oakland, teachers there are trying to figure out how to instruct non-English speaking kids who have been through extreme trauma.
