Bill > HR7007

This bill, known as the Biliteracy Education Seal and Teaching (BEST) Act, aims to establish or improve Seal of Biliteracy programs in states. These programs recognize students who demonstrate proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in both English and a second language, including Native American languages. The bill provides grants to states to implement these programs, which must include provisions for English learners, students with disabilities, and Native American language speakers and learners. The grants can be used for administrative costs, public outreach, and subsidizing testing for low-income students. The bill also requires states to report on the implementation of their Seal of Biliteracy programs.
