Bill > AB2097

This bill requires all public high schools in California, operated by school districts and charter schools, to offer at least one computer science course by January 1, 2026, with a phased-in implementation timeline. The bill also directs the California Department of Education to develop a computer science implementation guide to assist schools in offering these courses, and requires the department to publicly report data on computer science course enrollment. The bill aims to ensure equitable access to computer science education for all students, including those from underrepresented groups. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for state reimbursement of any costs mandated by the state.
