Seeking Waivers

Last month, Orange County school districts replaced bilingual education with English-only instruction. But under Proposition 227, parents can file waivers after 30 days of English-only, asking that children be taught in their primary language. Most districts have not received any requests. Here are those that have:

District: Requests

Anaheim City School District: 10

Anaheim Union High School District: 123

Fullerton School District: 2

Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District: 1,000

Santa Ana Unified School District: 2,037

Note: Garden Grove Unified School District mailed letters to parents Monday, and could receive requests in coming weeks.
