Computer Science Graduation Requirement
G.S.115C-12(9d) requires the State Board of Education to include instruction in Computer Science in the standard course of study for middle and high school students.
For the 26-27 school year waivers can no longer be submitted so a Public School Unit must implement this requirement.
Coding in Minecraft is one of the courses eligible to satisfy the requirement at High School or Middle School.
