relative to the civics test graduation requirement.
This bill requires high school students in New Hampshire to pass a specific civics test to receive their graduation certificate. The law mandates that students achieve a score of at least 70 percent on a digital assessment based on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services naturalization exam. Schools must administer this test as part of their required history and government courses and report the results to the state department of education. The legislation also allows for accommodations for students with disabilities in accordance with their individualized education plans.
