Bill > HB329

This bill mandates that beginning with students graduating in the 2031-2032 school year, all public K-12 students in Alabama must demonstrate digital literacy by earning at least one credit in a computer science course approved by the State Department of Education, or by completing a course that integrates computer science skills and experiences, with the department establishing minimum standards for such integrated courses. This computer science credit can fulfill requirements for mathematics, science, career and technical education, or elective credits, with specific rules for how it can replace mathematics and science credits for students pursuing a general education diploma. The bill also updates the definition of "computer science" to include emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and clarifies that computer science courses offered in high schools should primarily be in-person, with virtual options only when necessary.
