LEAs and schools should train staff about their language access obligations as a part of new employee orientation and annually thereafter. True False

LEAs (Local Education Agencies) and schools are required to ensure language access for students and families who may have limited proficiency in English. This includes providing meaningful access to educational programs and activities, as mandated by laws such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. Training staff about their language access obligations during new employee orientation and on an annual basis helps ensure compliance with these legal requirements and supports effective communication with all stakeholders in the educational community.
