Um-- I don't live in CA. It's
everywhere.There have (also) been legal actions re: instructional time in Texas and in Oregon this
spring alone. Try just using the search terms "instructional hours" and "legal action" in google news, and you'll see what I mean.
I can also tell you that for every one of those lawsuits, there are HUNDREDS of cases where administration does all that they can to obfuscate the reality sufficiently that there is no traction
for such a suit, in spite of the reality being absolutely egregious.
My daughter, as I've reported elsewhere at length, got
seven-and-a-half hours of instruction this year in her SECOND YEAR foreign language course. Which has no textbook.
In math, the situation was not much better-- there, she got LESS instructional time than that, but at least had textbooks and parents who could help.
We wound up using family friends who are fluent as tutors for the foreign language course. It's a shame, as DD seems to have a real gift for learning vie immersion-- but she never really had a chance under these conditions, frankly.
