Governor Lamont Proposes Establishing the English Learners' Bill of Rights To Safeguard the Provision of Bilingual Education

Statement

"I believe there is nothing more important to a child's education than an engaged and supportive parent or guardian, and the English Learners' Bill of Rights will guarantee that they have the information necessary to do so," Governor Lamont said. "Several weeks ago, a group of parents, students, legislators, and advocates held an event outside my office to propose the creation of this law and explain its importance. After hearing their stories and the importance of this bill to their families, I understood. Their voices were heard in my office, and I hope we can all hear them."
