INTRODUCED BY   Senator Lara

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 313.2 of the Education Code, relating to
English learners.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 627, as introduced, Lara. English learners: English language
education.
   Existing law defines "long-term English learner" and "English
learner at risk of becoming a long-term English learner" and requires
the State Department of Education to annually ascertain and provide
to school districts and schools the number of pupils in each school
district and school, as specified, who are, or are at risk of
becoming, long-term English learners.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in this latter
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

are defined in Section 313.1.
