The bill proposes an appropriation from the general fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal year designated, specifically aimed at enhancing educational resources for immigrant parents. It establishes a grant to Cultural Connections, which is tasked with creating and distributing videos that explain the school system in a basic manner. The goal is to help at least 320 public middle and high schools bridge knowledge and achievement gaps by increasing parental involvement, facilitating integration, and promoting student success.
Additionally, the grant recipient is required to provide these videos in the first language of the immigrant parents and include instructions for their distribution to the secondary schools involved. This initiative is characterized as a one-time appropriation, emphasizing its singular funding nature for the specified purpose of improving educational access and understanding among immigrant families.
