Relating to social studies curriculum choice for public school students.
SB 3018 requires Texas public school districts to include ethnic studies, world geography, or world history as one of three required social studies credits for high school students. Specifically, students must complete one credit in this category alongside U.S. history and government/economics courses. The bill amends existing curriculum requirements to mandate this choice within the social studies foundation curriculum. It directly affects all Texas public school students in grades K-12 by expanding their social studies course options.
