Important information put In Other Words.
In Other Words is a television show produced by Fairfax County Public Schools primarily for adult residents of Fairfax County–especially parents–who want more information about their schools but have limited English skills. The show is written in English, and then produced in five other languages: Arabic, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
