New Jersey § 18a:35-15
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 18a:35-15, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 18a:35-15.
The Legislature finds that there are large numbers of children in the State who come
from environments where the primary language is other than English. Experience has shown that public school classes in which instruction is given only
in English are often inadequate for the education of children whose native tongue
is another language. The Legislature believes that a program of bilingual education can meet the needs
of those children and facilitate their integration into the regular public school
curriculum. Therefore, pursuant to the policy of the State to insure equal educational opportunity
to every child, and in recognition of the educational needs of children of limited
English speaking ability, it is the purpose of this act to provide for the establishment
of bilingual education programs in the public schools.
