AB 2056: Teachers: exchange programs: local educational agencies.
This bill aims to amend the education code to revise the provisions for teacher exchanges between California and Mexico. It would allow teachers to exchange positions with teachers in schools in other countries for a longer period than one year. The arrangements for the exchanges would no longer require the state department of education's involvement. The bill would also expand the authorized exchanges to include county offices of education and charter schools. Additionally, it would require the authorization of specified visa sponsors to sponsor Mexican teachers for placement in California schools, promoting cultural exchange for specified purposes.
