S 2543 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Language Education Data Enhancement Act

This bill requires schools and education agencies to collect and report more detailed data on language learning programs taught in languages other than English. It expands the definition to include Native American languages and American Sign Language, and mandates new reporting on student enrollment, teacher certification, course types (like dual-language or online), and course distribution across all education levels. The data collected will help federal agencies better understand the scope and effectiveness of non-English language education programs. This directly affects schools, districts, and state education agencies responsible for collecting and submitting this information.
