The requirement would begin with the 2020-2021 grade nine class. The bill also amends current law to require, rather than permit, school districts to use the Department of Education’s curriculum guidelines for civics in fulfilling the requirements established by N.J.S.18A:35-1 and 2 for a two-year course of study in United States history. (Click here for NJCSS summary of Civics curriculum guidelines) S2762 - NJCSS bill on Teaching Civics in Middle School (7/3/18) A4376 - Identical NJCSS bill on Teaching Civics in Middle School (9/13/18) A 884 - Instructional mandate on contributions of veterans and history of patriotic holidays (1/9/18) A 578 - Geography (1/9/18) A308 - Requirement to pass Citizenship Test as a high school graduation requirement (1/9/18) Join the NJCSS or Renew your membership for 2019-20!
