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 several existing statutes related to English language education and amend others to enhance the identification and support of English language learners (ELLs). The resolution emphasizes the need for public schools to provide high-quality education and effective language programs for ELLs, ensuring that they master the English language and have access to innovative, research-based instruction.

Additionally, the resolution mandates the State Board of Education to adopt and approve evidence-based models of structured English immersion and alternative English instruction. It outlines specific requirements for the duration and quality of English language development instruction, as well as the establishment of dual-language immersion programs. The resolution also grants parents the legal standing to enforce educational standards for ELLs and requires the legislative council to prepare conforming legislation for future consideration. If approved by voters, this measure will become law upon the Governor's proclamation.
