This bill aims to enhance computer science education in Rhode Island by directing the council on elementary and secondary education to develop recommendations for a high school curriculum that prepares students for postsecondary education and careers in computer science. The council will consider policies and practices that increase access to high-quality educational experiences in these fields. The bill also directs the commissioner of elementary and secondary education to develop academic standards for a computer science high school curriculum, incorporating the council's recommendations. The curriculum should enable students to use computer science courses to meet mathematics and science admission requirements at state colleges and universities. The bill requires school districts to provide access to computer science courses if they are not offered in-person, and it encourages the recruitment of qualified teachers and the provision of professional development in computer science instruction. The bill will take effect upon passage.
