It’s Official — Georgia Requires Computer Science In Schools
Georgia Passed SB 108 Requiring All Schools to Offer Computer Science
On May 2nd, 2019, Georgia passed Senate Bill 108 requiring districts to offer a computer science course in at least one high school and an exploratory computer science course in middle school by 2021–2022. Then by the 2023–2024 school year, all high schools are required to offer a course in computer science. Learn more.
Georgia Governor Geoff Duncan is in full support of this legislation. He also requested $1 million towards professional development for teacher across the state. In our technology-driven world, this is a huge step to support the growth in computer science education around the state.
