This bill proposes significant amendments to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, aiming to strengthen support and resources for English learners and immigrant children and youth. It mandates new data collection requirements, including statistics on the racial, ethnic, gender, and linguistic diversity of teachers within each state, and requires monitoring of former English learners' academic progress . The legislation clarifies the purpose of English language acquisition programs to ensure English learners achieve high academic levels without unnecessary separation from other students or denial of access to dual language programs. It expands authorized activities for subgrantees to include increasing access to legal, educational, financial, and social services for English learners and their families, provided in their native language. Furthermore, the bill emphasizes implementing evidence-based best practices and providing culturally competent training for school staff to better support these students. It also calls for supporting policies that improve educational outcomes for English learners and immigrant children, regardless of immigration status, and requires disaggregated data collection by ethnicity, race, native language, and disability status for accountability purposes.
