In regions with scattered populations of foreigners, educational issues of CLD children are unlikely to be considered as matters to be addressed in school education, and as a result, the CLD children’s educational system is underdeveloped. The city X was no different until 2019 when they began to introduce changes. This paper focuses on reflections of members of a school board, an international association, and university personnel, who were involved in the educational reform ensuring CLD children’s education in city X. What perspective they had in association with their action and the process of how the change occurred were identified. As a result of the analysis, each of the three felt the need to remove a long-standing makeshift supporting system for CLD children. It turns out that the enactment of The Act on Promotion of Japanese Language Education encouraged them to take action. After the enforcement of the law, they began to share issues and information from their individual s andpoints to create a roadmap for reform. By communicating as members of their re pective organizations, they each became more aware of the need to develo a closer relationship so they can work together to transform the educational environment for CLD children.
