AN ACT CONCERNING THE INCLUSION OF CIVICS EDUCATION AS PART OF SPECIAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTION.

HB 6790 requires special education programs in Connecticut schools to include civics education in their curriculum, specifically teaching students with special needs about civic rights and responsibilities. The bill mandates schools to develop or adapt accessible civics courses for these students and provides dedicated funding to support this implementation. It aims to create more inclusive learning environments that prepare students with special needs to participate fully in civic life. This policy directly affects students in special education programs across Connecticut public schools.
