To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide for additional activities, resources, and data collection with respect to English learners, and for other purposes.
This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to improve support for English learners (ELs) and immigrant children/youth. It requires states to collect and report data on teacher diversity (racial, ethnic, gender, linguistic) and to disaggregate student performance data by EL status, disability, ethnicity, race, and native language. The bill mandates states to monitor progress of former ELs and expands funding for programs providing legal/educational resources in students' native languages, culturally responsive educator training, and dual-language program access. It directly affects public schools, educators, and EL students - regardless of immigration status - by strengthening data-driven support systems and resource access.
