Bill > S02939

This bill establishes the "Education Equity Act" in New York, which provides language assistance to parents or guardians whose primary language is not English and have children enrolled in public schools. The bill defines key terms, creates an annual language assistance plan to assess needs, requires the Department of Education to establish webpages detailing translation and interpretation service rights, and mandates annual reporting by each school district to the local board of education. The bill aims to ensure non-English speaking parents and guardians can effectively communicate with their child's school.
