Sen. Kruse has introduced SB 267 which would provide a mechanism for a graduate to obtain a seal on their diploma indicating they are proficient at two or more languages. This would be termed a “seal of biliteracy.” As written, the first language apparently has to be English. But the remaining language could be another modern language, sign language, Latin, or Native American languages.
Googling “biliteracy” and seal of biliteracy highlights legislative efforts in several other states. So a nationwide lobbying effort of some sort seems to be underway. I haven’t tried to dig into who that is.
