Senate passes legislation allowing sign language classes to count toward high school graduation
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate approved Senate Bill 2339, enabling sign language to satisfy foreign language requirements in public schools. Authored by Senator Angela Hill, the bill aims to create a curriculum for sign language to count towards high school graduation credits. Currently, Mississippi lags in the number of certified American Sign Language interpreters, with only 22 compared to higher numbers in neighboring states. ASL instructor Ronda Bryan highlighted the value of sign language for creating more job opportunities and connecting the deaf community to education, healthcare, and legal services. The bill passed unanimously with a 50-0 vote and moves to the House for consideration.
