Summary

Existing law requires each school district, county office of education, and charter school, as provided, that has one or more pupils who are English learners to assess the English language development of each pupil in order to determine the level of proficiency. This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to perform certain tasks relating to pupils of limited English proficiency, including ensuring that all schools and school districts provide each pupil of limited English proficiency with an educational opportunity that is equal to the opportunities available to English-speaking pupils.
