CALIFORNIA — California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed Assembly Bill 370 into law. Authored by Assemblymember Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay), AB 370, known as the Biliteracy Advancement Act, aims to establish equity in the standards necessary to achieve the coveted State Seal of Biliteracy. "The State Seal of Biliteracy is an important means for California to acknowledge the remarkable accomplishments of multilingual learners. Students from diverse language backgrounds who demonstrate exceptional proficiency in English and an additional language should have equal opportunities to earn the State Seal of Biliteracy," commented Addis. "I appreciate the Governor's dedication to empowering California's multilingual learners by expanding the opportunities for all students to attain this prestigious achievement, while maintaining high standards."
