Coding could count for foreign language credit under bill ANNA LIZ NICHOLS, Associated Press/Report for America May 18, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail LANSING, MI (AP) Instead of learning a foreign language, Michigan students could take computer coding classes to replace the high school graduation requirement, under a bill that passed the state House Tuesday. Currently, the Michigan Merit Curriculum, which dictates the state s academic standards for graduation, requires students to take two world language credits to receive a high school diploma.

Greg VanWoerkom spoke about the value of coding in Michigan s prominent auto and tech industries, as well as it being a good alternative for those kids who struggle with traditional language classes.

Michigan League for Public Policy At first, state and federal policies to better support Michigan immigrants may not seem particularly relevant to the Alpena area. But new research from the Michigan League for Public Policy shows that 684,000 immigrants are living, studying, working, and raising families here in Michigan, and that immigrants are a present and important part of the population in every single county. The League recently released updated fact sheets on immigrants in Michigan and each county, which are available at mlpp.org/geographicfactsheets. Those snapshots include population data, breakdowns by immigration status, and changes in those numbers across the last decade for each of the state’s 83 counties.
