Appellate Court Rules Against School Districts

August 5, 2009 by Claudia Vizcarra

The news is not good but we know that all the work of our attorneys, the courage of our school boards and administrators and the support from the field helped bring the critical issue of fair, just, valid and reliable assessments for English learners to the attention of thousands of people in California and around the nation. We have had an incredible team of attorneys who for four years served as the voice of our students, parents, and teachers who see daily the results of this accountability system that punishes districts, schools and children for not being able to compete on tests written for native English speakers. We will continue to explore all of our options to achieving our goal of an accountability system that rewards growth and allows English learners to demonstrate their content knowledge and skills in way that respects and reflects their strengths in English and their home language.
