Lau Action Plan

New Lau Action Plan

Since the Lau v. Nichols case over 35 years ago, SFUSD has had a plan for providing English Learners with programs and services to academically succeed. Last year, the District renewed its commitment by developing a new Lau Action Plan to address the needs of today’s English Learners. Aligned with the District’s strategic goals for all SFUSD students, the new plan will ensure that English Learners acquire high levels of English and home language proficiency (whenever possible), academic achievement, and skills that will lead to success in the 21st century.

Some of the key components of the new Lau Plan include:

  1. proper identification and placement of English Learners
  2. access to effective learning pathways and specialized programs and services
  3. staffing and professional development
  4. parent outreach and involvement
  5. monitoring and evaluation of programs and services
