AI Summary

This bill aims to close the achievement gap for English language learners (ELLs) in underperforming schools. It amends the existing law to allow superintendents, commissioners, and receivers to include alternative English language learning programs for ELLs in their turnaround plans for underperforming or chronically underperforming schools and districts. These alternative programs can be retained even after the school or district is no longer designated as underperforming, providing continued support for ELLs.
