Are there resources to assist LEA staff in locating parental notification documents translated into non-English languages?
Yes. The Clearinghouse for Multilingual Documents (CMD) is a Web-based resource that provides information about public and secondary educational documents translated into non-English languages by California educational agencies. Developed by the CDE, the CMD helps districts and county offices to locate useful translations of parental notification documents and reduce redundant translation efforts. In so doing, the CMD helps schools to meet state and federal requirements for document translation and parental notification, including the requirements in EC 48985, the NCLB Act of 2001, and other legislation.
