We are working to pass the Biliteracy Education Seal and Teaching Act, which aims to provide grants for states to establish or enhance Seal of Biliteracy programs. These programs recognize students who achieve high-level proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in both English and a second language, acknowledging their valuable skills for academic and career success.
