INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indiana House has unanimously passed a bill aimed in part at helping deaf students by setting state standards for sign language interpreters.
The bill passed the House on a 94-0 vote Monday, and now advances to Gov. Mitch Daniels for his consideration.
The measure requires the state Department of Education to set standards for sign language interpreters who provide services in educational settings. It would void existing state rules.
Bill sponsor state Rep. Gregory Porter notes that non-specialized teachers have certain standards that they must meet in order to teach Hoosier children.
The Indianapolis Democrat says Indiana's deaf students deserve the same considerations offered to the rest of the state's children.
You've probably seen a lot of rocket launches, but how many landings have you seen? If Elon Musk has his way, you're going to see a lot more in the future. His Falcon rockets are designed to take off and successfully land back on earth, so that they can be reused.
Below you can see SpaceX's third successful rocket landing. Even better, the footage was shot by a drone.
