Language Access and Schools: Federal Requirements and School Experiences
This webinar from the Migration Policy Institute’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy (NCIIP) and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Bridging Refugee Youth & Children’s Services (BRYCS) program explores federal requirements for providing interpretation and translation in schools and how select school districts in Minnesota and Colorado have managed these requirements. Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, schools are required to provide information to parents in a “language they can understand.” In addition to this requirement, Executive Order 13166 makes clear the responsibility of all federally funded programs to uphold Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by ensuring meaningful access to programs and services for individuals regardless of their English proficiency. School districts across the country have implemented these federal requirements in a variety of ways. Speakers include: Laura Gardner and Lyn Morland from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Bridging Refugee Youth and Children’s Services; Alejandra Bosch from Saint Paul Public Schools; and Salvador Carrera from Denver Public Schools. Chhandasi Pandya from MPI’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy moderates the call and question and answer period.

LEP Workers & Access to Workforce Services: Perspectives on Current Barriers to Access and Prospects for Improvements Under WIA Reauthorization
This webinar presented by MPI’s National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy examines the current Workforce Investment Act (WIA) system, and the extent to which changes to the WIA system take account of important demographic and economic trends and address the needs of immigrant-origin and Limited English Proficient (LEP) workers. On this webinar, experts discuss barriers immigrant and LEP individuals face in accessing the WIA system and how a revitalized WIA could address these barriers. Amanda Bergson-Shilcock from the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians discussed barriers in the WIA system that affect the ability of LEP workers to access meaningful workforce services through the One Stop system; Emma Oppenheim of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) discussed how the WIA system could be redesigned to improve service for LEP and immigrant workers and the extent to which the Senate’s reauthorization proposal addresses their needs; and Dr. Gabriela Lemus, Director of the US Department of Labor’s Office of Public Engagement, discussed Department of Labor efforts to broaden immigrant and LEP workers’ access to workforce services.
