Summary

The bill amends the Education Code so state‑run teacher exchange rules explicitly include Mexico and apply to school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools. It also authorizes U.S. State Department‑designated J‑1 visa sponsors to sponsor Mexican teachers for placements of up to one year, aiming to promote cross‑cultural learning. Federal grants could be used to fund the program.
