Social Studies - 3. When does the new requirement that civics must be a “stand-alone” course take effect?

State law requires that “beginning with or before 2020-2021, each school district that operates a high school must provide a mandatory one-half credit stand-alone course in civics for each high school student.” (RCW 28A.230.094). State Board of Education rules clarify that the new requirement will apply to incoming ninth graders in the 2020-2021 school year, or the Class of 2024 (WAC 180-51-210).
