Illinois HB3250 establishes the State Global Scholar Certification Program to recognize students with global competence.

Illinois HB3250 amends the School Code to establish the State Global Scholar Certification Program. This program recognizes public and nonpublic high school graduates who have attained global competence. The State Board of Education sets criteria for certification, including globally focused courses, service learning experiences, global collaboration, and a capstone project. Certification is voluntary for school districts and nonpublic schools, which must maintain records and designate certification on diplomas and transcripts.
