Title: Foreign Language Assistance Program Funding in Jeopardy
Body: From http://asiasociety.org/education-learning/world-languages/-american-schools/language-funding-jeopardy In an effort to prevent government shut down, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a proposal, HR 1, which contains $100 billion in cuts from the President’s FY 2011 budget request. To reach that number the House cut billions through eliminations, reductions, and rescissions, including the elimination of the Foreign Language Assistance Program (FLAP) within the Department of Education. FLAP is the only source of federal education funding for K-12 foreign language innovation and best practices. The $26.9 million in funding are being used to develop programs in critical languages to help support our economic and national security interests and prepare our graduates to compete in the 21st century. The US Department of Education awards, on average, between 25-35 FLAP grants each year to local education agencies and state education agencies.

Title: Civil Rights Deal Signals Federal Push for Translation Services in Schools
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2011/03/03/23language.h30.html?tkn=TNXF1Oa1D6Le3XJDmOoC6rsvpS4IObHSH8Ua&cmp=clp-sb-actfl Civil Rights Deal Signals Federal Push for Translation Services Expanded services for parents part of Phila. accord By Mary Ann Zehr March 3, 2011 The Philadelphia school district has been beefing up language-translation services for parents to carry out a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, in what is seen as a signal that the federal government is planning to press harder on schools to make school-to-home communications more accessible to all parents with limited English skills. The Philadelphia settlement requires the district to inform LEP parents at South Philadelphia High School by the start of the school year or no later than 10 days after their child is identified as an English-language learner that the district provides translation/interpretation services to parents free of charge. It requires the district to continue to provide interpretation services to students or their parents whenever an ELL faces the prospect of a suspension, expulsion, or disciplinary transfer. Any documents about an alleged or actual harassment incident or disciplinary action taken against an ELL student at South Philadelphia High School must be translated for parents. The Asian students who were victims in the widely publicized attacks at the school last year were English-language learners.
