We find, therefore, that counsel is adequate. Tonya K. v. Chicago Board of Education, 551 F.Supp. 228.60(b) (3).

Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that defendants have violated 1703(f) and seek injunctive relief to remedy the violation. Del Valle suggests that the court seemed content that the district was simply offering a "number of programs" for ELLs, without examining the adequacy of these programs. As the legal expert Sandra Del Valle (2003) points out, however, this decision did not give language minorities additional rights and privileges but simply ensured that "laws not be used as a rationale for denying them the same rights accorded others" (p. 39). Therefore, since defendants' alleged failure to write guidelines under state law also violates federal law, plaintiffs conclude that an order compelling defendants to comply with state law is really meant to cure their violation of federal law and therefore Pennhurst should not apply to bar such relief. An exception to this rule is that a suit challenging the constitutionality of a state official's action or a state statute is not one against the State. We hold, therefore, that all of these plaintiffs are class members and have standing to sue. The statute requires school districts to identify students of limited English-speaking ability and classify them according to language, grade, age or achievement level. It is well settled that in deciding whether to certify a class, the Court cannot consider the merits of the underlying action, ( Eisen v. Carlisle & Jacquelin, 417 U.S. 156, 177, 94 S.Ct. Under the Lau Remedies, elementary schools were generally required to provide LEP students special English-as-a-second-language instruction as well as academic subject-matter instruction through the students' strongest language until the student achieved proficiency in English sufficient to learn effectively in a monolingual English classroom. While it is correct that the Supreme Court in Pennhurst was not faced with this argument which links a violation of state law to a violation of federal law, the Court did expressly consider the effect of the Eleventh Amendment on the doctrine of pendent jurisdiction over state law claims. 505-510). It also analyzes the aims, needs and requirements of education and recommends legislation to the General Assembly and Governor. In support of their motion to dismiss, the defendants argue that, at its heart, plaintiffs' complaint alleges violations of state law in themselves and as violations of federal law. The plaintiffs are directed to file an amended complaint naming the correct parties as defendants. In particular, Wright focuses on cases relating to segregation, the right of communities to teach their native languages to children, and the linguistic and education needs of ELLs. 23.) In ascertaining whether a named representative will adequately protect the interest of absentee class members, courts have applied a number of tests: the " benefit" test; the " no-conflict" test; and the " exact-equation" test. ).

The Castaeda standard mandates that programs for language-minority students must be (1) based on a sound educational theory, (2) implemented effectively with sufficient resources and personnel, and (3) evaluated to determine whether they are effective in helping students overcome language barriers (Del Valle, 2003). Del Valle (2003) suggests that through these cases opponents of bilingual education attempted to turn the original purpose of bilingual education on its head by charging that a program that was developed to ensure that ELL students have the same educational opportunities as all other students was actually preventing equal educational opportunities for ELL students.
