Bill overview
This bill updates the requirements for the State Seal of Civic Engagement, a recognition awarded to California students who demonstrate excellence in civics education and participation. It directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction to recommend revised criteria to the State Board of Education, adding a requirement that students also demonstrate an understanding of the importance of preserving democracy and its institutions, such as the free press and public education. The program remains voluntary for school districts.
