This bill relates to education, including modifying provisions related to required social studies instruction, personal financial literacy instruction, and high school equivalency diplomas. The bill requires that the United States government instruction provided in school districts and nonpublic schools in grades through 12, beginning with the students in the 2022-2023 graduating class, include an assessment of the student’s knowledge of United States government and civics. The bill provides that the most recent version of the civics test developed by the United States citizenship and immigration services shall be used for this assessment. The bill requires a student to attain a passing score on the civics test as a condition of graduation and allows a student to retake the civics test as many times as necessary. The bill provides that the personal financial literacy instruction provided in school districts and nonpublic schools in grades through 12, beginning with the students in the 2022-2023 graduating class, shall require students to attain a passing score on an assessment of the student’s knowledge of personal financial literacy as a condition of graduation. The bill authorizes a student who fails to attain a passing score on the assessment to retake the assessment as many times as necessary. Current law requires the department of education to make available to certain specified individuals a high school equivalency diploma, which shall be issued on the basis of demonstrated competency in reading, language arts, literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. The bill adds personal financial literacy to this list of areas in which competency must be demonstrated. The bill also requires that the rules adopted by the state board of education to carry out Code chapter 259A (high school equivalency diplomas) shall require the applicant to attain a passing score on the most recent version of the civics test developed by the United States citizenship and immigration services and a passing score on an assessment of the applicant’s knowledge of personal financial literacy. The bill provides that these provisions apply to individuals applying for a high school equivalency diploma on or after the effective date of the bill.
