The 2025-26 Budget: Transitional Kindergarten Multilingual Learner Screeners

Feb 26, 2025 - Chapter  15 of 2024 (AB  2268, Muratsuchi) eliminated the requirement for districts to assess English proficiency for all TK students beginning in 2024-25. This was intended to address concerns that the current ELPAC assessment was not developmentally appropriate for younger TK students.
