Here's a few of my ideas:

The school requires that all pupils take this course.
La escuela requiere que todos los estudiantes asistan a este curso.
La escuela obliga a todos los estudiantes a asistir (a que asistan) a este curso.

... has forced the town officials to reconsider installing a traffic light.
... ha obligado a los funcionarios volver a considerar la instalación de un semáforo.

Your bad grades resulted in you failing the course.
Tus notas malas produjeron que no pasaras el curso.

This sounds kinda funny to me. I'd say:
Por causa de tus malas calificaciones, [tronaste/no pasaste/no aprobaste] el curso.
Also:
Her parent entrusted me to see to it that his wishes were carried out.
Su padre me encomendó que sus deseos se cumplieran.
Su padre me encomendó que me encargara de que sus deseos se cumplieran.
And:
bedridden = encamado
