More Computer Science Coming to Georgia Schools Soon
New Senate Bill requiring all schools to offer computer science
Senate Bill 108
The Georgia Senate showed their support for the growth of computer science education in Georgia by passing SB 108 on March 7, 2019. The bill requires all districts in Georgia to offer computer science in at least one high school and an exploratory computer science class in all middle schools by fall 2022. Furthermore, by 2024 all high schools are required to offer computer science.
Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan is in full support of this legislation. He recently requested $1 million towards professional development for teacher across the state. Duncan said that he wants Georgia to be the “technology capital of the entire East Coast.”
