Relating to the development of a career-oriented foreign language program that public schools may offer.
Fiscal Notes
No fiscal implication to the State or local government.
Bill Analysis
HB 1431 would amend the Education
Code to require the State Board of Education, in consultation with the
commissioner of higher education and business and industry leaders, to
develop an advanced language course that a school district may use in the foreign
language enrichment curriculum to provide students with instruction in
industry-related terminology.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill does not create a mandate for a school district, so there is
no discernible connection to the principles of liberty. We are neutral
on HB 1431.
