Iowa requires standards-aligned computer science instruction in at least one grade from 1–6. The requirement does not specify instruction in every elementary grade.
Instruction requirement began July 1, 2023; local K–12 plan deadline was July 1, 2022.
High schools must offer and teach at least one standards-aligned half-unit CS course. This finding establishes course availability, rather than a requirement that every student take it.
No district examples indexed. This is not a census.
Teacher support & funding
Funding documented
CS teacher-endorsement and competitive PD grants are documented. The published PD application deadline is November 1, 2026; endorsement applications close May 1, 2027, or earlier if funds are spent. Award and eligibility are not guaranteed.
Grants support CS professional learning and endorsement coursework; check the current guidelines and eligible costs.
Tennessee requires at least one CS course credit for students pursuing a traditional diploma. The credit may meet an approved math or science requirement.
Incoming freshmen from fall 2024; first graduating cohort is the class of 2028.
California adopted K–12 CS standards and publishes a grade-band progression. This source establishes standards; it does not establish that every student receives a CS course.
Requires California's Instructional Quality Commission to consider AI-literacy content when specified mathematics, science and history-social science curriculum frameworks are next revised.
IQC must consider AI literacy during the next relevant framework and materials revisions; no universal student-course deadline is established.
Grades: Transitional kindergarten and kindergarten take-home devices
Prevents local education agencies from requiring TK and kindergarten students to take home school-issued electronic devices from 2027–28.
The take-home-device requirement starts in the 2027–28 school year, according to the Senate’s post-enactment summary. The separate legal effective day is not verified here.
Establishes authorized-use expectations for students, employees and associated persons, including responsible use, privacy, security and human-accountability safeguards.
Requires purposeful district-device use and blocks student-led YouTube, streaming, social media and unapproved games. Screen and device limits roll out by grade; see the linked implementation actions.
Defaults to no individual 1:1 school device and no take-home device in early education–grade 1. Assessments, IEP requirements, virtual programs and parent opt-in conditions are identified.
Published screen-time guidance for grades 2–3 sets 0–20 minutes daily or 0–100 minutes weekly, including homework, subject to instructional exemptions.
Published screen-time guidance for grades 4–5 sets 0–30 minutes daily or 0–150 minutes weekly, including homework, subject to instructional exemptions.
Published screen-time guidance for grades 6–8 sets 0–60 minutes per course weekly, with a 400-minute weekly maximum including homework, subject to instructional exemptions.
Published screen-time guidance for grades 9–12 sets 0–90 minutes per course weekly, with a 600-minute weekly maximum including homework, subject to instructional exemptions.
Statewide and district findings are separate. A course offered, a published standard, an instruction requirement and a graduation credit are different obligations. A statewide policy need not apply to all K–12 grades. Support is not proof of classroom delivery.
