Abstract	This paper examines the amount and type of resources that linguistic minority students--those students who come from households where a language other than English is spoken--need to meet the same challenging standards and to have the opportunity to achieve the same educational outcomes as other students. In this paper we first describe the nature of the linguistic minority population in California. We then develop a conceptual framework for analyzing their resource needs. Subsequently, we review existing studies that have attempted to estimate the resource needs for this population. Drawing on these existing studies and the results of new data collection, we describe the nature of the resources needed to provide an adequate education for California's English learners. We conclude with policy recommendations about how to approach estimating the real dollar costs of educating English learners and linguistic minority students.
