Bill Summary
EDUCATION -- Amends existing law to provide that students may satisfy state civics and government standards through participation in a certain course and examination and to provide that the State Department of Education shall make available funding for certain civics education.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow students to satisfy state civics and government standards through participation in a certain course and examination, rather than just the civics test previously required. Additionally, the bill requires the State Department of Education to make available funding for high-quality professional development focused on advanced high school civics or government courses, including those with college credit-bearing civics or government examinations. The bill also makes some minor changes to the requirements for students to take a flexible schedule or graduate early, including modifying the civics test requirement to the broader "civics requirement" in the existing law.
