‘‘PART A—ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION
‘‘SEC. 7101. SHORT TITLE.
‘‘This part may be cited as the ‘‘English Language
Fluency Act’’.
‘‘SEC. 7102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds as follows:
‘‘(1) English is the common language of the
United States and it is imperative that every citizen
and other person residing in the United States have
a command of the English language in order to de-
velop to their full potential.
‘‘(2) States and local school districts need as-
sistance in developing the capacity to provide pro-
grams of instruction that offer and provide an equal
educational opportunity to immigrant children and
youth and children and youth who need special as-
sistance because English is not their dominant lan-
guage.
‘‘(b) PURPOSE.—The purposes of this part are—
‘‘(1) to help ensure that children and youth who
are English language learners master English and
develop high levels of academic attainment in
English; and
‘‘(2) to assist eligible local educational agencies
that experience unexpectedly large increases in their
student population due to immigration to help immi-
grant children and youth with their transition into
society, including mastery of the English language.
‘‘SEC. 7103. PARENTAL NOTIFICATION AND CONSENT TO
PARTICIPATE.
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—A parent or the parents of a
child participating in an English language instruction pro-
gram assisted under this part shall be informed of—
‘‘(1) the reasons for the identification of the
child as being in need of English language instruc-
tion;
‘‘(2) the child’s level of English proficiency, how
such level was assessed, and the status of the child’s
academic achievement; and
‘‘(3) how the English language instruction pro-
gram will specifically help the child acquire English
and meet age-appropriate standards for grade-pro-
motion and graduation.
‘‘(b) PARENTAL CONSENT.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—A parent or the parents of
a child identified for participation in an English lan-
guage instruction program using their native lan-

‘‘(A) shall sign a form consenting to their
child’s placement in such a program prior to
such time as their child is enrolled in the pro-
gram; and
‘‘(B) shall have their child removed from
such program upon their request.
‘‘(2) EFFECT OF LAU DECISION.—A local edu-
cational agency shall not be relieved of any of its ob-
ligations under the holding in the Supreme Court
case of Lau v. Nichols (414 U.S. 563) because any
parent chooses not to enroll their child in an English
language instruction program using their native lan-
guage in instruction.
‘‘(c) RECEIPT OF INFORMATION.—A parent or the
parents of a child identified for participation in an English
language instruction program assisted under this part
shall receive, in a manner and form understandable to the
parent or parents, the information required by this sec-
tion. At a minimum, the parent or parents shall receive—
‘‘(1) timely information about programs funded
under this part; and
‘‘(2) if a parent of a participating child so de-
sires, notice of opportunities for regular meetings for
the purpose of formulating and responding to rec-
ommendations from such parents.
