Bill Summary

The bill authorizes a public school, in kindergarten through eighth grade, to choose an American civics course of study option to meet or exceed the Colorado academic standards adopted by the state board of education for civics education.

The bill lists the topics relating to the United States' and Colorado's systems of government that are included in an American civics course of study option and describes the use of comparative analysis when studying other countries' systems of government.
