Stating findings of the Legislature and requesting that the State Board of Education adopt rules to provide for Idaho state government and Idaho history questions for the civics test given to high school seniors starting with the 2017-18 school year.

Starting with the 2016-2017 school year, graduating seniors in Idaho public schools and charter schools will be required to pass a civics test. This House Concurrent Resolution requests that the Idaho State Board of Education adopt a rule providing that at least 20% of the questions on that test will be specific to Idaho state government and history. It also requests that the Board strongly consider including in the civics test some or all of the questions provided to the Board relating to Idaho state government and history.
