ELA/ELD Instructional Materials
The State Board of Education is planning to hold a public hearing to receive comments regarding ELA/ELD Instructional Materials for grades K-8 before action is taken on the recommendation, scheduled for November 4 -5, 2015. There is no state-led adoption of instructional materials for grades nine through twelve, as Local Education Agencies (LEAs) have the sole responsibility and authority to adopt materials for those students.
Asian Pacific Youth Leadership Project
The Asian Pacific Youth Leadership Project reaches out to Asian and Pacific Islander youth in California to build on their understanding of what it means to be Asian and Pacific Islander American students in today's culturally and ethnically diverse society. Fifty juniors and seniors will be selected from statewide applicants to participate in the conference on March 17-20, 2016 in Sacramento. Please share information about this conference to all interested students.
