California court hears case on ELL students
[Politico,
7/31/14]
The
American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California is set to face the state
in court today, and they’ve got the federal Department of Justice backing their
case. The ACLU alleges that the state is denying 20,000 children with limited
English-speaking skills the instructional services they require by law. The
students are languishing in their classes, schools are holding them back and
parents don’t have access to translated records, ACLU writes.
