EDUCATION-TECH

SB 1736 makes a technical adjustment to Section 27-2 of Illinois' School Code, which governs English language instruction in public schools. It does not change existing requirements that instruction must be in English except for specific second language programs or approved multilingual programs for students whose first language is not English. The bill affects all public elementary and secondary schools in Illinois by updating the statutory language of this provision. This is a procedural amendment with no substantive policy change.
