Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the qualifications to serve as a member of the citywide council on English language learners and of the citywide council on high schools
AI Summary
This bill amends education law to allow parents of a child who has ever received services through an English as a second language program, or a bilingual program, to serve on the citywide council on English language learners and the citywide council on high schools, even if their child is no longer enrolled in such a program. Previously, there were restrictions or implications that membership might be limited to parents of currently enrolled students, but this change clarifies that past enrollment is sufficient to qualify for these important parent representative roles on these citywide councils.
