Bill > SF3399

This bill appropriates $800,000 from the state's general fund to the Department of Education in fiscal year 2026 as a grant to an organization called Cultural Connections, specifically to develop and distribute educational videos designed to help immigrant students and their parents better understand the American school system. The grant requires the recipient to create at least 320 videos that will be distributed to public middle and high schools, with each video being translated into the first language of immigrant parents. The primary goals of these videos are to accelerate immigrant student integration, promote student success, and narrow knowledge and achievement gaps by increasing parental involvement through improved understanding of the school system. The bill specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not expected to be recurring in future years.
