SCH CD-FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQ

Summary

Starting in the 2028‑2029 school year, every student entering 9th grade in Illinois must complete two years of foreign‑language courses to receive a high‑school diploma. Schools must also offer two years of foreign‑language credit to any student who passes a state‑approved biliteracy‑level proficiency test or provides an official transcript showing two years of high‑school‑equivalent study in a language other than English. The measure expands language learning while recognizing students who already have demonstrated proficiency.
