Law Would Add High School Courses in Iowa
A Senate approved bill would require four math semesters, two foreign language, four science, six English, and two European history semesters, atop current American and Iowa History, economics, and social studies. Eldora officials say local offerings would not be greatly affected, as the district already mandates six English semesters and offers extensive electives. Superintendent Paul Simons notes modest impact given current enrollment in geometry, biology, chemistry, and physics. Critics warn the measure could strain schools and hinder graduation paths, while supporters argue it raises standards across state institutions. The bill cleared the Senate 31 to 8 and moves to the House.
