Proficiency and Academic Achievement Act’.
‘‘SEC. 3102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as follows:
‘‘(1) English is the common language of the
United States and every citizen and other person re-
siding in the United States should have a command
of the English language in order to develop to their
full potential.
‘‘(2) Limited English proficient children, includ-
ing recent immigrant children, must overcome a
number of challenges in receiving an education in
402
•HR 1 RH1&2
order to participate fully in American society,
including—
‘‘(A) segregated educational programs;
‘‘(B) disproportionate and improper place-
ment in special education and other special pro-
grams due to the use of inappropriate evaluation
procedures;
‘‘(C) the limited English proficiency of their
parents, which hinders the parents’ ability to
fully participate in the education of their chil-
dren; and
‘‘(D) a need for additional teachers and
other staff who are professionally trained and
qualified to serve such children.
‘‘(3) States and local educational agencies need
assistance in developing the capacity to provide pro-
grams of instruction that offer and provide an equal
educational opportunity to children who need special
assistance because English is not their dominant lan-
guage.
‘‘(4) Since 1979, the number of limited English
proficient children attending school in the United
States has more than doubled to greater than
4,000,000, and demographic trends indicate the popu-
403
•HR 1 RH1&2
lation of limited English proficient children will con-
tinue to increase.
‘‘(5) Native Americans, including native resi-
dents of the outlying areas, and Native American lan-
guages (as such terms are defined in section 103 of
the Native American Languages Act) have a unique
status under Federal law that requires special policies
within the broad purposes of this part to serve the
educational needs of language minority students in
the United States.
‘‘(6) Research, evaluation, and data collection
capabilities in the field of instruction for limited
English proficient children need to be strengthened so
that educators and other staff teaching limited
English proficient children in the classroom can bet-
ter identify and promote programs, program imple-
mentation strategies, and instructional practices that
result in the effective education of limited English
proficient children.
‘‘(7) The Federal Government has a special and
continuing obligation to ensure that States and local
educational agencies provide children of limited
English proficiency the same educational opportuni-
ties afforded other children.
‘‘(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this part are—
404
•HR 1 RH1&2
‘‘(1) to help ensure that children who are limited
English proficient, including recent immigrant chil-
dren, attain English proficiency, develop high levels of
academic attainment in English, and meet the same
challenging State academic content standards and
challenging State student academic achievement
standards expected of all children;
‘‘(2) to develop high-quality programs designed
to assist local educational agencies in teaching lim-
ited English proficient children;
‘‘(3) to assist local educational agencies to de-
velop and enhance their capacity to provide high-
quality instructional programs designed to prepare
limited English proficient students, including recent
immigrant students, to enter all-English instructional
settings within 3 years; and
‘‘(4) to provide State educational agencies and
local educational agencies with the flexibility to im-
plement instructional programs, tied to scientifically
based reading research and sound research and theory
on teaching limited English proficient children, that
the agencies believe to be the most effective for teach-
ing English.

dent in such language or form for 1 additional year.
