High school graduation requirements; history and social studies credits.

High school graduation requirements; history and social studies credits; certain substitutions permitted. Requires the Board of Education, in establishing high school graduation requirements, to permit any student to substitute the African American History course or the Advanced Placement African American Studies course for the World History I course or the World Geography course for the purpose of satisfying the history and social studies credit requirements, provided that enrollment in such African American History course or Advanced Placement African American Studies course is available to the student. The bill directs the Board to amend its regulations as necessary to (i) permit any student to substitute the African American History course or the World Geography course for the purpose of satisfying the history and social studies credit requirements in accordance with the provisions of the bill and (ii) ensure that any student electing to make such a substitution is not required to earn a verified credit for the World History I course or World Geography course in order to graduate.
