The amount of the annual required contribution shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of section 10-183 l and section 10-183z , and for each biennial budget shall be the amounts for the fiscal years of said biennium determined in the actuarial evaluation required to be submitted by the December first prior to the beginning of the first fiscal year of the biennium, as provided in said subsection (b) of section 10-183 l , beginning with the actuarial evaluation submitted prior to December 1, 2006, for the biennial budget for the fiscal years commencing July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008. Said amount shall be certified by the Teachers' Retirement Board and the Comptroller. The state of Connecticut does hereby pledge to and agree with the holders of any bonds issued under this section and any refunding bonds that, as long as the actuarial evaluation for each biennium, as required by this subsection, and the certification of the annual contribution amounts, as required by this subsection, are completed in the manner and by the dates required by this subsection, subsection (b) of section 10-183 l and subsection (a) of section 10-183z , no public or special act of the General Assembly shall diminish such required contribution until such bonds, together with the interest thereon, are fully met and discharged, provided nothing herein contained shall preclude such limitation or alteration if and when adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the holders of such bonds, or if and when the Governor declares an emergency or the existence of extraordinary circumstances, in which the provisions of section 4-85 are invoked, and at least three-fifths of the members of each chamber of the General Assembly vote to diminish such required contribution during the biennium for which the emergency or existence of extraordinary circumstances are determined, and the funded ratio of the Connecticut teachers' retirement system is at least equal to the funded ratio immediately after the sale of bonds pursuant to this section in accordance with the actuarial method used at the time. If all of such conditions are met, the funding of the annual required contribution may be diminished, but in no event shall such diminution result in a reduction of the funded ratio of the Connecticut teachers' retirement system by more than five per cent from the funded ratio which would otherwise have resulted had the state funded the full annual required contribution, or the funded ratio immediately after the sale of the bonds, whichever is greater. For purposes of this subsection, the “funded ratio” shall be measured as the actuarial value of assets over the actuarial value of liabilities. The actuarial value of assets and the actuarial value of liabilities will be projected from the most recent actuarial valuation to the end of the fiscal year in which said annual required contribution is due. For purposes of this subsection, the “existence of extraordinary circumstances” may mean a change in the actuarial methods or accounting standards used to value the fund that would result in a significant increase in the state's annual required contribution. The State Treasurer is authorized to include this pledge and undertaking for the state in such bonds.

(c) On or before July 1, 2000, the State Board of Education, within available appropriations, shall develop a state English mastery standard to assess the linguistic and academic progress of students in programs of bilingual education. On and after September 1, 2000, each local and regional board of education shall assess, annually, the progress made by each student toward meeting the state standard. If a student is not making sufficient progress toward meeting the state standard based on the assessment, the local or regional board of education shall provide language support services to the student in consultation with the parent or guardian of the student to allow the student to meet the state standard. Such services may include, but need not be limited to, summer school, after-school assistance and tutoring. If a student meets the state standard based on the assessment, the student shall leave the program. Each local and regional board of education shall document on a student's permanent record the date the student begins in a program of bilingual education and the date and results of the assessments required pursuant to this subsection.

An eligible student may spend up to an additional thirty months in a program of bilingual education if (1) the local or regional board of education responsible for educating such student requests an extension of such bilingual education for such student to the Department of Education, or (2) the Department of Education makes a determination that an extension of such bilingual education for such student is necessary. The department shall use the standards developed pursuant to section 10-17k in determining whether to grant a request by a local or regional board of education for an extension of such bilingual education for an eligible student or whether an extension of a bilingual education program for an eligible student is necessary. If an eligible student does not meet the English mastery standard at the end of the initial thirty months or at the end of an extension of the bilingual education program for such student, the local or regional board of education shall provide language transition and academic support services to such student. Such services may include, but need not be limited to, English as a second language programs, sheltered English programs, English immersion programs, or other research-based language development programs. Families may also receive guidance from school professionals to help their children make progress in their native language. If an eligible student enrolls in a secondary school when the student has fewer than thirty months remaining before graduation, the local or regional board of education shall assign the student to an English as a second language program and may provide intensive services to the student to enable the student to speak, write and comprehend English by the time the student graduates and to meet the course requirements for graduation.

(e) Each local and regional board of education shall hold a meeting with the parents and legal guardians of eligible students to explain the benefits of the language program options available in the school district, including an English language immersion program, and any native language accommodations that may be available for the mastery examination, administered pursuant to section 10-14n . The parents and legal guardians may bring an interpreter or an advisor to the meeting. If the parent or legal guardian of an eligible student opts to have such student placed in a program of bilingual education, the local or regional board of education shall place the child in such program.

(f) The board of education for each local and regional school district which is required to provide a program of bilingual education shall initially endeavor to implement the provisions of subsection (b) of this section through in-service training for existing certified professional employees, and thereafter, shall give preference in hiring to such certified professional employees as are required to maintain the program.

(g) The State Board of Education shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, to establish requirements for: (1) Such programs, which may be modeled after policy established by the Department of Education for bilingual education programs; (2) local and regional boards of education to integrate bilingual and English as a second language program faculty in all staff, planning and curriculum development activities; and (3) all bilingual education teachers employed by a local or regional board of education, on and after July 1, 2001, to meet all certification requirements, including completion of a teacher preparation program approved by the State Board of Education, or to be certified through an alternate route to certification program.
