LEGISLATION

Bilingual Dual Language, & World Language Teachers Investment Act (H7594/S2845)

This bill creates a scholarship fund for teachers seeking bilingual, dual language or world language certification. It invests in multilingual people and people of color who reflect our student population and have been historically denied access to teacher education. Recipients will commit to teaching in an urban core/ring school for 1 year per year they accept the scholarship.

Support and Access to Bilingual Education Act - SABE (H7514/S2917)


This bill creates an incentive for schools to start, expand, and improve K-12 dual language programs. 

These programs are cost neutral once implemented but require up-front materials and professional development.
