North Carolina House Bill 8, which requires a student to earn passing grade in a computer science course to graduate from high school, has been approved by the House and the Senate has approved the first read. Director Missy Ellenberger will ask the board to update the local computer science requirement for Transylvania County Schools to align with House Bill 8 by changing the requirement to begin with the class of 2024-2025 (current 7th graders) instead of the class of 2023-2024 (current 8th graders).
A motion would be in order to modify the Transylvania County Schools computer science requirement to begin with the class of 2024-2025 (current 7th graders).
