Thank you, Sejal, for the kind introduction, and congratulations on receiving the Seal of Biliteracy!
And welcome, everyone to this Summit – hosted by YOUR Department of Education!
First, let me give a huge thanks to our incredible team – Montserrat Garibay, and the staff of our Office of English Language Acquisition, and Dr. Melissa Castillo, Senior Advisor to me on Multilingualism – not only for bringing us together at this summit, but for all you do every day to advance multilingualism and support English learners in America.
