The resolution proposes a measure concerning English language education for children in public schools in Arizona, which will be submitted to voters for approval. It seeks to repeal specific sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to English language education and amend others to enhance the identification and assessment of English language learners. The resolution emphasizes the responsibility of public schools to provide high-quality education and effective language programs for these learners, ensuring they master the English language and have access to innovative instructional methods.

Additionally, the resolution mandates the State Board of Education to adopt research-based and evidence-based models of structured English immersion and alternative English instruction. It outlines the requirements for these models, including the amount of English language development time necessary for different grade levels, and establishes procedures for budget requests related to these programs. The resolution also allows for dual-language immersion programs and emphasizes the importance of community and stakeholder input in developing effective instructional methods for English language acquisition. If approved by voters, this measure will become law upon the Governor's proclamation.
