Newcomer students have long been an underserved group in California’s school systems. Newcomers require specialized curricula and instruction to succeed in school as well as access to social services to meet even their basic needs.

There are thus significant opportunities to improve education for newcomers in California through policies, data systems, curricula, programs development, and collaborations.
