Parent Organization Network

Celebrates AB 2555

En Español
 

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and honor the contributions, resilience, and leadership of Latino communities, the Parent Organization Network (PON) is proud to share that Assembly Bill 2555 (AB-2555) has passed through the California state legislature and is on the Governor’s desk to sign. AB 2555 will simplify the reclassification process for English Learners and strengthen parent engagement. Through our work with more than 450 parents across 23 schools, we have seen firsthand the challenges families face in understanding and navigating the current system.


AB 2555 creates a more coherent, consistent, and equitable process while ensuring that parents are informed and meaningfully involved in decisions affecting their children's educational journey. We are honored to have joined partners across the state in advocating for this important legislation and look forward to its passing and its positive impact on multilingual students and their families.


This milestone is a testament to the power of parent voice and community advocacy in advancing educational equity for all students!

💐We Honor Yesica Limon for Her Dedication and Support to All the Students and Families from Pomona through Gente Organizada 💐


PON is proud to recognize Yesica Limón for her years of dedication, leadership, and advocacy on behalf of English Learner students and their families. As a member of Gente Organizada's Board of Directors from 2019 to 2026, Yesica played a pivotal leadership role while also serving as a vital bridge between PON and Gente Organizada throughout her tenure. Through this partnership, she helped strengthen collaboration between the organizations and expand support for families and students across the communities they serve.


Inspired by her own daughter Allison's journey, Yesica transformed a personal challenge into a mission to help other families better understand the educational system and navigate the English Learner reclassification process. Her commitment to parent leadership, educational equity, and student success has empowered countless parents to become informed advocates for their children. We are deeply grateful for her partnership, unwavering dedication, and the lasting impact she continues to make in the lives of multilingual students, families, and communities.
