Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 84901 of the Education Code, relating to adult education.

AI Summary

This bill amends the California Education Code to provide a more comprehensive definition of "immigrant integration" for the Adult Education Program. The new definition describes immigrant integration as a collaborative, two-way process where both immigrants and the receiving society work together to create secure and inclusive communities. Specifically, the bill expands the concept to emphasize that integration involves providing immigrants with effective, culturally relevant, and linguistically accessible programs and services that support their linguistic, economic, civic, and social advancement. The definition now explicitly highlights the goal of helping immigrants maximize their contributions to the economic and civic life of their communities, and promotes multigenerational integration. The bill maintains the existing framework of the Adult Education Program, which is administered by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, but provides a more nuanced and holistic understanding of how immigrant communities can be successfully integrated into broader society.
