The bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the Department of Education for the purpose of creating educational videos aimed at immigrant students and their parents. Specifically, it allocates a grant to Cultural Connections, which is required to produce videos that explain the school system in a basic manner. This initiative is designed to help at least 320 public middle and high schools facilitate the integration of immigrant families, promote student success, and address knowledge and achievement gaps through increased parental involvement.
Additionally, the grant recipient is mandated to provide these videos in the first language of immigrant parents and to include instructions for their distribution to the secondary schools involved. The bill specifies that this funding is a one-time appropriation, emphasizing the targeted nature of the initiative to support immigrant families in understanding the educational system.
