What’s in it

This bill requires, within the five units of social studies required under Iowa’s educational standards, school districts and accredited nonpublic schools to offer and teach one unit of African American history in grades through 12. Currently, high school students are required to take three years of social studies, including one-half unit of United States government and a unit of United States history.3.16.2. The inclusion of this specification is intended to reinstate the requirement of political subdivisions to comply with any state mandates included in the bill.
