The Seal of Biliteracy, a state-by-state initiative to recognize bilingualism in graduating high school students, has been in the news lately. 

It will be implemented in Missouri beginning in 2018: http://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/missouri-adds-seal-of-biliteracy-for-graduating-seniors-proficient-in/article_d2391337-e3e5-50f2-8c7d-2c82ef955f52.html
