nov 1, 2000 - English for the Children initiatives, Proposition 203 (Arizona) , 2000
Description:
Arizona Proposition 203, also known as English for the Children, is a ballot initiative that was passed by 63% of Arizona voters on November 7, 2000. It limited the type of instruction available to English language learner (ELL) students.
My interpretation: Proposition 203 requires pupils who are "English learners" to be taught in English immersion classes during a temporary transition period. Because the Proposition would limit the amount of time that pupils could remain eligible for additional state funding for "English learners," the Proposition is expected to lead to state savings. The amount of the savings is difficult to predict in advance as it depends on the number of pupils who learn English more quickly in the immersion classes.
