[HERITAGE-LIST] FOLLOW-UP TO: FYI: Op-ed piece on State of Maryland Task Force on the Preservation of Heritage Language Skills - copy of legislation available

[Scott G. McGINNIS]

With thanks to Catherine Ingold of NFLC, and Susan Spinnato of the State of Maryland Department of Education, I have available a copy of the legislation as it was signed.

As Catherine notes:

"While the bill doesn’t fund anything really, I think it’s a pretty good model for states that wish to affirm the value of their heritage languages. Your posting...to the heritage listserv made me think it might be good to disseminate."

I am not attaching the bill to this e-mail, as I know many people are (justifiably!) leery of receiving e-mail with attachments -- but if you'd like a copy of it, let me know and I'll pass it on (btw, I can probably respond to you more quickly if you send your request to my DLI-W e-mail address -- scott.mcginnis at us.army.mil).

Best to all,
s.
