Nouns and pronouns in relative clauses
When the relative pronoun is the subject of the relative clause, we don’t use another personal pronoun or noun in the relative clause because the subject (underlined) is the same:- She’s the lady who lent me her phone. (who is the subject of the relative clause, so we don’t need the personal pronoun she)
- There are now only two schools in the area that actually teach Latin. (that is the subject of the relative clause, so we don’t need the personal pronoun they)

It seems to me the subject of the relative pronoun "that actually teach Latin" is "two schools', not "two schools in the area". Therefore, I think that "in the area" should not be underlined.
What do you say?
