Dates & implementation

Legal start

Jul 1, 2022

Offering or plan duty begins in 2023–24. The reporting subsection expired July 1, 2025; the offering/plan duty did not.

A legal effective date can precede school implementation. This record documents policy intent or requirements; it does not independently confirm delivery in every classroom.

Exceptions & instructional scope

District may submit an implementation plan instead of immediately offering a course.

Funding & support

Funding details not confirmed

Dedicated funding and current award availability are not established in this collection. This does not mean no funding exists.
