Dual Language Immersion Amendments

Summary

The legislation defines an “accelerated foreign language student” as one who has passed an AP world language exam and sets strict qualifications for teachers of upper‑division concurrent enrollment language courses. It obligates Utah’s state universities to develop these courses, lets local school districts partner with out‑of‑area universities if needed, and requires the State Board of Education to report cost estimates for expanding language proficiency assessments. Annual funding for the courses will increase in line with changes to the weighted pupil unit.
