Officials have rescinded a set of guidance that has been in place for ten years, which outlined the rights of students who are still learning English.
This decision has raised concerns among advocates and educators, who fear it may diminish the support provided to immigrant children in educational settings.
The removal of the guidance could lead to a lack of clarity regarding the protections and resources available to English language learners, potentially impacting their academic success.
Critics argue that such changes could hinder efforts to ensure equitable education for all students, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds.
