An act relating to computer science education in public schools

This bill requires Vermont public middle and secondary schools to offer computer science courses and establishes standards for these programs, with options for remote learning through virtual platforms. It creates a Computer Science Education Task Force to develop a statewide strategic plan for expanding computer science education and sets up a grant program to help teachers earn computer science teaching endorsements. Additionally, the bill mandates a report on the effectiveness of a proposed state virtual school system that would allow students to attend school online without enrolling in a local school.
