Bill > HB1028

This bill establishes a new diploma endorsement for high school students demonstrating bilingualism, which means proficiency in speaking, listening, and understanding English and another world language, in addition to updating the requirements for the existing biliteracy endorsement, which requires proficiency in speaking, listening, understanding, reading, and writing both English and another world language. The bill also allows students in school districts that do not offer these programs to access them through department-certified entities, referred to as "approved entities," which are institutions of higher learning or educational nonprofit organizations approved by the Department of Education. The Department of Education will set the educational requirements for these approved entities to ensure uniform standards for students seeking these endorsements.
