PHOENIX — State schools chief Tom Horne has struck out in his claim that he is entitled to sue school districts that don’t use “structured English immersion” to teach the language to students who are not proficient.
In a brief order, the Arizona Supreme Court has refused to disturb lower court rulings that said he lacks legal standing to enforce Proposition 203, a 2000 voter-approved measure that spells out how English must be taught to students who are not proficient in the language. The justices provided no explanation for their ruling.
