Abstract: The controversy surrounding the operation of bilingual education programs in the public schools for language minority students has been a consistently recurring issue for many years. This study provides school officials with an expository treatment of the topic and its legal aspects from a judicial standpoint. The study provides a comprehensive examination of the status the states afford bilingual education through constitutional and statutory provisions. In addition, the study provides a set of data that should prove of value to education decision makers as they consider programs for language minority students. While a number of educational questions are examined in the study, the study does not attempt to address the value of bilingual education; rather, the study merely examines the judicial decisions and legislation designed to effectuate bilingual education programs for language minority students. Further, the study examined the educational issues that might prove to be litigious in the future.
