State Initiatives

CS Promise - Under the program, students in grades 7-12 can enroll, at no cost to the student, in one computer science course not offered by the student's secondary school per academic year and receive high school credit for the course.

Any public secondary school student may participate in the program if the student meets the applicable eligibility criteria. Any student enrolled in a nonpublic secondary school may participate in the program if the nonpublic school chooses to participate in the program. 

Eligibility Verification Process – The Eligibility Verification allows licensed educators to teach a computer science course if, prior to teaching the course, the individual completes a professional development program, approved by the district superintendent or school principal, that provides content knowledge specific to the course the individual will teach. The Eligibility Verification application window is open from October through December each year.
