Without adequate access to translation and interpretation, parents cannot fully participate in the IEP (Individualized Education Plan) process or give informed consent, which significantly delays and/or limits the services and support their children receive. In San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), there was no historical timeline or requirement for translation services—some families waited up to 6 months for translations. In 2021, Innovate Parent Leaders introduced an equity resolution to the district to require live interpretation services and adequately translated documents within 30 days of IEP meetings. As a result of parents’ listening campaigns, research meetings, and advocacy with district officials, the resolution was unanimously passed in 2022. The resolution significantly enhanced the accessibility of full participation in the IEP process for 12,000 SFUSD families who do not speak English as a first language, including Arabic, Chinese, Filipino, Samoan, Spanish and Vietnamese. Building on the success of the SFUSD Resolution, Innovate Parent Leader teams across the state are now proposing these requirements at the statewide level with Senate Bill 445, co-sponsored by Senator Portantino and supported by SFUSD. This bill, pending approval, will assist families of the 700,000 students across CA who have an IEP.
