APRIL 7, 2006  Capitol Media Services English learners still must pass AIMS High-school seniors who are not yet proficient in English will still have to pass the AIMS test to graduate.

Mar. 31, 2006   Associated Press Appeals court blocks fines against the state in English learning case PHOENIX - The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that fined the state and restricted the implementation of a new high school graduation requirement because of shortcomings in instruction of students learning the English language.

Mar. 25, 2006 Associated Press Goddard is leery of parts of law on English-learners. Attorney General Terry Goddard expressed reservations Friday about parts of a new state law to revamp instruction of students learning English but said it attempts to satisfy federal court rulings by linking state funding to the programs' actual costs.

Mar. 16, 2006  Associated Press Judge rejects bid to lift AIMs exemption "The state has failed to comply with federal law for nearly six years," the judge said in an order that repeatedly referred to the years that have passed since a 2000 ruling by Collins' predecessor. Any hardship caused the state "is negligible when compared to the irreparable harm ELL students have suffered for nearly six years due to the state's inaction," Collins said.

Mar. 3, 2006 The Arizona Republic  Napolitano is handed English bill The Senate narrowly approved House Bill 2064 on Thursday. That sets up a decision expected today by Democratic Gov.

But the House then delayed action further action until next week so the measure can be rewritten to make it harder for Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano to make major changes.

Feb 19, 2006  Associated Press Ariz. racking up court fines over schools Roughly six years after a federal judge ordered Arizona's governor and lawmakers to improve programs for students learning English, the two sides are at a potentially expensive impasse. Since Jan. 25, the U.S. District Court here has fined the state $500,000 each day the sides do not reach an agreement. The bill is already $12 million. But whether the state will actually pay - and even where the money would go - is still unclear.

 Arizona Debate continues...




Lack of appropriate funding for ELL court rankling continues...


August 24, 2006


The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco rules on the Arizona English-learner controversy known as the "Flores Case" filed in 1992. English-learner students must pass the AIMS test to graduate from high school and wipes out the $21 million in fines the state faced in a case.

What's next?


Please thank Tim Hogan (thogan@aclpi.org) for his tireless advocacy for English language learners and continue to support advocates in public service who side with justice for children!
