Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to employment preparation education programs
Purpose or general idea of bill
To allow English language learning students under the age of twenty-one to participate in approved employment preparation education programs.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends Subdivision 11 of section 3602 of the education law to allow any student under twenty-one years of age who attends regular day school classes and is designated as an English language learner by his or her school district or BOCES program to participate in an approved employment preparation education program, provided that space is available.
Justification
Under current law, English language learning (ELL) students under the age of twenty-one are precluded from participating in approved employment preparation education programs because the age of eligibility for students is twenty-one years and older. As a result, ELL students under the age of twenty-one are unable to participate in these programs even if there is space available for them in the program. Opening these programs up to ELL students under the age twenty-one will help them get the education and training that they desire.
