SECTION 320

320.  As detailed in Article 2 (commencing with Section 305) and
Article 3 (commencing with Section 310), all California school
children have the right to be provided with an English language
public education.  If a California school child has been denied the
option of an English language instructional curriculum in public
school, the child's parent or legal guardian shall have legal
standing to sue for enforcement of the provisions of this statute,
and if successful shall be awarded normal and customary attorney's
fees and actual damages, but not punitive or consequential damages.
Any school board member or other elected official or public school
teacher or administrator who willfully and repeatedly refuses to
implement the terms of this statute by providing such an English
language educational option at an available public school to a
California school child may be held personally liable for fees and
actual damages by the child's parents or legal guardian.
