52160. This article shall be known and may be referred to as the Chacon-Moscone Bilingual-Bicultural Education Act of 1976.
(Added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 36.)
2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 2 - ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 4 - INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES › PART 28 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS › CHAPTER 7 - Bilingual Education › ARTICLE 3 - Bilingual-Bicultural Education Act of 1976 › Section 52161.

52161. The Legislature finds that there are more than 288,000 school age children who are limited English proficient and who do not have the English language skills necessary to benefit from instruction only in English at a level substantially equivalent to pupils whose primary language is English. Their lack of English language communication skills presents an obstacle to such pupils’ right to an equal educational opportunity which can be removed by instruction and training in the pupils’ primary languages while such pupils are learning English. The Legislature recognizes that the school dropout rate is excessive among pupils of limited English proficiency. This represents a tremendous loss in human resources and in potential personal income and tax revenues. Furthermore, high rates of joblessness among these dropouts contribute to the unemployment burden of the state.
The Legislature recognizes that a critical need exists for teaching and administrative personnel qualified in the bilingual and crosscultural skills necessary to the instruction of the limited-English-proficient population in the state’s school districts. Therefore, the Legislature directs school districts to provide for in-service programs to qualify existing and future personnel in the bilingual and crosscultural skills necessary to serve the pupils of limited English proficiency of this state. Furthermore, the Legislature intends that the public institutions of higher education establish programs to qualify teachers and administrators in the bilingual and crosscultural skills necessary to serve these pupils.
The Legislature finds and declares that the primary goal of all programs under this article is, as effectively and efficiently as possible, to develop in each child fluency in English. The programs shall also provide positive reinforcement of the self-image of participating pupils, promote crosscultural understanding, and provide equal opportunity for academic achievement, including, when necessary, academic instruction through the primary language.
It is the purpose of this article to require California school districts to offer bilingual learning opportunities to each pupil of limited English proficiency enrolled in the public schools, and to provide adequate supplemental financial support to achieve such purpose. Insofar as the individual pupil is concerned, participation in bilingual programs is voluntary on the part of the parent or guardian.

52162. The State Board of Education shall adopt such rules and regulations as are necessary for the effective administration of this article.
(Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 1339, Sec. 6. Operative July 1, 1981, by Sec. 39 of Ch. 1339.)
2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 2 - ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 4 - INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES › PART 28 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS › CHAPTER 7 - Bilingual Education › ARTICLE 3 - Bilingual-Bicultural Education Act of 1976 › Section 52163.5.

52163.5. Each of the program options defined in subdivision (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of Section 52163 shall include structured activities which promote the pupil’s positive self-image and crosscultural understanding.
The Legislature recognizes that language development is a continuum and that pupils in the same classroom may have varying levels of English and primary language skills. The individualized instruction for each pupil, pursuant to all of the program options, shall be based on a continuing evaluation of the pupil’s progress by the classroom teacher, and by others, as appropriate. An English development component is required for all participating pupils. Pupils with greater strength in their primary language shall receive instruction in academic subjects through the primary language as long as such instruction is needed to sustain academic achievement. As pupils develop the skills which allow them to learn more effectively in English, more of their instruction shall be through the English language. A primary language component shall be provided as specified in subdivision (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of Section 52163, but shall be less extensive as the pupil progresses into English.

52163.6. The Legislature recognizes that for many languages there is a shortage of primary language textbooks, curriculum, teacher training programs, and bilingual personnel. The requirement for reading in the primary language may be waived by the board if the district documents the lack of available materials, personnel, and training programs. The department shall maintain a list of available curriculum materials and teacher training programs in all appropriate languages, to verify the waiver requests. The waiver is renewable yearly. Each waiver request shall be signed by the chairperson of the district bilingual committee. The waiver does not eliminate the requirement for primary oral language development.

52164. Each school district shall ascertain not later than the first day of March of each year, under regulations prescribed by the State Board of Education, the total number of pupils of limited English proficiency within the district, and shall classify them according to their primary language, age, and grade level. This count shall be known as the “census of pupils of limited English proficiency” and shall consist of a determination of the primary language of each pupil enrolled in the school district and an assessment of the language skills of all pupils whose primary language is other than English.
The census shall be taken by individual, actual count, and not by estimates or samplings. All pupils of limited English proficiency, including migrant and special education pupils, shall be counted. Special language assessment instruments, designated by the superintendent and in compliance with the requirements of subdivision (j) of Section 56001, may be used for special education pupils. The results of this census shall be reported to the Department of Education not later than the 30th day of April of each year. The previous census shall be updated to include new enrollees and to eliminate pupils who are no longer pupils of limited English proficiency and pupils who no longer attend school in the district, and shall be reported pursuant to Section 52164.1. Census data gathered in one school year shall be used to plan the number of bilingual classrooms to be established in the following school year.

52164.2. The Department of Education shall review the results of the census each year. Where the information provided by a school district appears to be inaccurate or where parents, teachers, or counselors file a formal written complaint that the census is inaccurate, the department shall audit the district’s census. Where the department concludes that the census has been incorrectly taken, or the results appear to be inaccurate, the department shall require another census to be taken and the corrected information to be provided.

52164.3. (a) Each school district shall reassess pupils whose primary language is other than English, whether they are designated as limited English proficient, or fluent English proficient, when a parent or guardian, teacher, or school site administrator claims that there is a reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the pupil’s designation.
(b) In all cases of reassessment, the parent or guardian of the pupil shall be notified of the result. This notice shall be given orally when school personnel have reason to think that a written notice will not be understood.

52164.5. Pertinent information from the assessment of language skills for each pupil whose primary language is other than English shall be retained by the school district as long as the pupil is enrolled in the district. Each school district shall report annually to the Department of Education, and the department shall report to the State Board of Education, the number of pupils (1) whose primary language is other than English; (2) who are of limited English proficiency; (3) whose primary language is other than English who are enrolled in classes defined in subdivision (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 52163; (4) the number of such pupils who have become bilingual and literate in English and in their primary language, as appropriate; and (5) the number of such pupils who have met the language reclassification criteria for exit criteria pursuant to Section 52164.6.

52164.6. Reclassification criteria shall be established by each school district in which pupils of limited English proficiency are enrolled. The criteria shall determine when pupils of limited English proficiency have developed the English language skills necessary to succeed in an English-only classroom. The reclassification process shall, at a minimum, utilize multiple criteria, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(a) Teacher evaluation, including a review of the pupil’s curriculum mastery.
(b) Objective assessment of language proficiency and reading and writing skills.
(c) Parental opinion and consultation.
(d) An empirically established range of performance in basic skills, based on nonminority English-proficient pupils of the same grade and age, which demonstrates that the pupil is sufficiently proficient in English to succeed in an English-only classroom.
The board shall adopt regulations setting forth standards for language reclassification criteria to be adopted by school districts. The board’s regulations shall, at a minimum, prescribe a reclassification process that utilizes multiple criteria as required by this section.
Each school district shall, in following the board’s regulations establish criteria for determining when pupils of limited English proficiency enrolled in programs defined in Section 52163 have developed the English language skills of comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing necessary to succeed in an English-only instructional setting.

52166. All teachers and aides providing instruction in programs established pursuant to subdivision (a), (b), or, unless waived by the board, (c) of Section 52163, shall meet the criteria of subdivision (h) or (i) of Section 52163. In the event a school operates an individualized program described in subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 52163, such a district which receives categorical aid funds to meet the needs of pupils of limited English proficiency shall certify to the board that sufficient teachers and aides meeting the criteria of subdivision (h) or (i) of Section 52163, as appropriate, are available to the school to ensure that all pupils of limited English proficiency have instructional opportunities in both English and their primary language to meet the intent of this chapter. Other instructional personnel who are not bilingual-crosscultural as defined in subdivisions (h) and (i) of Section 52163 may provide instructional and educational services to pupils enrolled in programs established pursuant to subdivision (a), (b), or (c) of Section 52163 if the principal teachers and aides providing instruction in such programs meet the criteria established in subdivisions (h), unless waived by the board pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 52163, and (i) of Section 52163.
In the development of teacher evaluation procedures pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section 44660) of Chapter 1 of Part 25, the governing board of each school district may ensure that a teacher meeting the criteria of subdivision (h) of Section 52163 is evaluated on the basis of his or her classroom performance by an onsite administrator upon the advice of another person meeting the criteria of subdivision (h) of Section 52163.

(a) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (b), in classes established pursuant to subdivision (a), (b), or (c) of Section 52165, not more than two-thirds nor less than one-third of the pupils shall be pupils of limited English proficiency. The remaining proportion of pupils in the class shall be pupils of fluent English proficiency. However, where there is documented evidence that these proportions cannot be met, the classroom proportions shall, at a minimum, reflect the proportion of the language proficiency classification for the particular grade level in the school and shall not result in segregation. Fluent-English-proficient pupils shall receive basic skills instruction in English and, to the extent possible, be achieving at the district norm.
(2) In no event shall the primary purpose of the program be to teach a world language to English-speaking pupils.
(3) The state board shall adopt any necessary regulations governing this section within 90 days after January 1, 1981.

52172. Teachers and teacher aides who are not bilingual-crosscultural teachers and aides, as defined by subdivisions (h) and (i) of Section 52163, shall not be permitted to teach in programs authorized pursuant to subdivision (a), (b), or, unless waived by the board, (c) of Section 52163, except as provided in Sections 52166 and 52178, or except as staffing requirements are waived by the board pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 52163.

The notice shall: (1) contain a simple, nontechnical description of the purposes, method, and content of the program in which their child or ward will be enrolled; (2) inform the parent, parents, or guardian that the parent, parents, or guardian have the right and are encouraged to visit such classes in which their child or ward will be enrolled and to come to the school for a conference to explain the nature and objectives of such education; (3) further inform the parent, parents, or guardian that they have the right, if they so wish, not to have their child or ward enrolled in such an education program; (4) inform the parent, parents, or guardian that they have the opportunity to participate in the school or school district advisory committee, or both.

The district advisory committee and subcommittee, if applicable, shall be responsible for at least six specific tasks. These tasks shall be to advise the district governing board regarding all of the following:

The school may designate for this purpose an existing school level advisory committee, or subcommittee of such an advisory committee, if the advisory committee, or subcommittee where appropriate, meets the criteria stated above.
(c) Each school advisory committee maintained pursuant to this section shall be responsible for advising the principal and staff in the development of a detailed master plan for bilingual education for the individual school and submitting the plan to the governing board for consideration for inclusion in the district master plan.
