RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A bill under consideration in the House of Delegates would allow Virginia high school students to substitute a computer coding credit for any foreign language requirement needed to graduate.

The News Leader reported Tuesday (https://bit.ly/2k08QA3 ) that the bill would create an exception in cases in which foreign language course credit is required to earn an advanced diploma.

The bill was introduced by Del. Glenn Davis, a Republican from Virginia Beach.



It has been assigned to a House education subcommittee.
