Education; public K-12 schools, completion of approved computer science course required

Summary

The law expands the definition of computer science and mandates that every public school in Alabama—elementary, middle, and high—offer approved computer‑science instruction. Beginning with the class of 2032, each student must earn at least one credit in a department‑approved computer‑science course (or a course with embedded CS content) to satisfy graduation requirements, and that credit can count toward math, science, career‑technical, or elective credits. The measure is intended to give students essential digital‑literacy skills for a technology‑driven economy.
