Across our state, 60% of children under age five (approximately 1. 7M) and 19% of students in kindergarten to 12th grade (approximately 1. 1M) are ELs.
Nearly 42% of students in California’s public schools speak a language other than English at home. These children and youth represent the future of California. Our education system needs to set the appropriate conditions for ELs to thrive.
Yet, nearly half of ELs entering kindergarten have not developed English proficiency by middle school. ELs are more likely to be in classrooms led by educators early in their teaching careers who lack the training to meet their unique language development, academic, and social and emotional needs.
And ELs are more likely to have limited access to rigorous, engaging, and grade-appropriate instruction that prepares them for success in college and career. We believe that by putting ELs at the center of our education policies and practices, our systems can serve all students well. To get there, our systems must recognize and build on the assets ELs bring to the classroom.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
