We couldn’t agree more, @SecCardona! Expanding access to dual & tribal language for our youngest learners is a top priority for Supt. Reykdal & OSPI. We’ve made enormous progress using investments from #WAleg and our #ESSER funds. #StatesLeading#WAedu
As our country continues to grow more diverse and as our global economy becomes more interconnected, we must provide opportunities for all students to be multilingual.
