Meeting: May 23, 2007
TITLE:
Board
Approval of
Hindi as a Course of Study
Background:
Section 51243 of
California
Education
Code states: “The State
Board of
Education
shall adopt rules and
regulations prescribing standards and conditions pursuant to which
credit shall be given for those purposes to
students in public schools who have successfully completed foreign
language studies in private schools.”
Section 51244 states: “The provision of Section 51243 giving credit to
foreign language courses given in
private schools shall apply to courses in the following languages,
Chinese, French, German, Greek (classical
and modern), Japanese, Jewish, Latin, Spanish and Russian, and other
languages as the State
Board of
Education shall designate. Section 51245 states: “For purposes of the
credit which may be given pursuant to
Sections 51243 and 51244 for foreign language courses undertaken in
private schools, it shall not be required
that the instructors in private schools be regularly credentialed
teachers.
Current Status:
With the growing population of natives of India in the Bay Area and
the growing role of India in the world
economy, there is an increased interest and demand for speakers of
Hindi. A
three year course of study in
Hindi
has been submitted through the District. It has been approved by the
U.C. of
California, as submitted, as an
approved course of study effective the 2007-2008 school year. The
course of study will not be taught in
Fremont
Unified School District, nor will resources be required from FUSD. The
course will be included
among other World Language courses previously approved by the
Board.
Recommendation:
The
Board of
Education approve
Hindi I,
Hindi II
and Hindi
III as private school courses of study alternatives
for students in the
Fremont
Unified School District, effective the 2007-2008 school year.
