Abstract

[For the U.S. education system, there were a series of laws passed regarding equitable access for children in schools and public education in general. Brown v. Board of Education occurred in 1954. Ten years later was the Civil Rights Act of 1964 followed by the Bilingual Education Act of 1968 and the Equal Opportunity Act of 1974 and yet these laws were not being adhered to for the children in the state of Florida. A grass roots effort took place with strong support to bring a lawsuit and ultimately culminated in the passage of the Florida Consent Decree. Approved in 1990, the decree assured attention and responsiveness for non-English speakers.]
