SB 123 – This act allows charter schools, whose mission includes foreign language immersion and whose instruction is wholly conducted in a foreign language for at least the first two years of a student's enrollment, to enroll four-year-old children and include them in their average daily attendance and weighted average daily attendance count for state aid. To be eligible for enrollment in a foreign language immersion charter school, a child must have attained the age of four before August 1st of the school year beginning in that calendar year. If the child resides in a school district that has authority to establish a resolution adopting a date between August 1st and October 1st for purposes of eligibility for enrollment, a child must have attained the age of four before the date established in the school district's resolution. This act is identical to SB 956 (2010).
