Immigrant Integration & CA Bill AB 2098

Policy bill AB 2098 (McCarthy) has moved on to the Governor’s desk for final signature! When signed into law, AB 2098 will intentionally call out ‘immigrant integration’ in California’s adult education legislation, and enable adult education program consortia across the state to report on immigrant integration outcomes for their students! We believe this bill will restore a balanced approach to publicly funded ESL programs by placing equal importance on linguistic, economic AND social integration of adult English Learners.
