From French and Spanish to ASL, how Oregon Lottery bonds are expanding bilingual education
Published on March 31, 2026.
The Oregon Lottery bonds are leading to the expansion of bilingual education at the International Leadership Academy in Lake Oswego, a day care and preschool center founded by Massène Mboup and Patricia Isler. The school will soon expand by 62 infant seats thanks to a $750,000 state grant meant to increase early learning access in Oregon. The grant will be used to renovate a new building and increase capacity from 25 to 50. Alongside the academy, Bridge City Montessori School, an early learning center for deaf and hearing-impaired children, is doubling its capacity with a $481,680 grant. The Child Care Infrastructure Fund was created by the Oregon Legislature in 2024 through $50 million in lottery bonds.
