Some students leave school without knowing how to fully speak, read and write in English.
If that happens, then their opportunities are extremely limited. It would also eliminate the state advisory council pertaining to the education of limited English proficient students, and remove an ESL representative from the Adult Education Commission. The measure has been sent to the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare. Under the law, all students, including those who don't speak English, are taught solely in English. Similar measures are being debated in New York and Massachusetts, and voters in Arizona approved banning bilingual education last November.
