SCH CD-WORLD LANGUAGE

Summary

The bill changes the School Code to use the term “world language” instead of “foreign language.” It also permits school districts to create a counselor‑guided process, approved by a parent or guardian, that can waive one or both years of the world‑language graduation requirement starting in the 2028‑29 school year. Districts must still provide equitable access to language instruction and cannot block students from later enrolling in language courses.
