All students have a right to:
- Fully qualified, well-trained teachers and counselors;
- Sufficient high quality textbooks and learning materials;
- School classroom and facilities that promote learning and health;
- Safe and caring schools and classrooms free from harassment and violence;
- Clearly stated academic standards and long range goals;
- A course of instruction that prepares all students for college, the
workplace, and civic participation;
- Academic progress supported by languages students understand;
- Fair and authentic assessment that guides instruction and supplemental
help;
- Timely and accessible information about the availability of high quality
learning conditions;
- An accountability system that allows students and parents to communicate
their concerns to public officials responsible for, and charged with
reporting on, the provision of each of these rights.
|
|
AB 2236 would empower students by:
- Requiring that the Students' Bill of Rights be posted in every classroom
and given to every parent and student in a language they can understand.
- Requiring schools to designate officials who will be responsible for each
of these rights;
- Requiring that school officials report on complaints that students and
parents file about their lack of access to these rights.
