Bill > HB126

This bill requires each public high school in New Mexico to offer at least one computer science course starting in the 2022-2023 school year, with the goal of having every public high school offer a computer science course by the 2024-2025 school year. The bill defines "computer science" as the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, hardware and software designs, implementation, and impact on society, with a focus on teaching students how to create new technologies, not just use them. School districts must report annually to the state Department of Education on the computer science courses offered, student enrollment and demographics, and teacher information. The Department is required to publicly post this data.
