HR 3138 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide for additional activities, resources, and data collection with respect to English learners, and for other purposes.

HR 3138 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to improve support for English learners and immigrant children/youth. It requires states to collect and report disaggregated data on English learners (including by disability, ethnicity, race, and native language) and monitor the progress of former English learners. The bill mandates new activities for schools, such as providing legal/educational resources to families, implementing evidence-based practices, and offering culturally responsive training for educators. It also directs agencies serving communities with rising immigrant populations to assess state laws affecting these students and notify families. These changes directly affect schools, educators, and English learner students across the U.S.
