  • Removes specific course sequence requirements (algebra I, geometry, algebra II) for mathematics, allowing schools to determine which 3 aligned credits satisfy requirements instead of mandating specific courses.

  • Eliminates detailed social science course specifications (U.S. history, world history, economics, civics) and replaces them with requirement for 3 credits aligned with department-approved content expectations.

  • Removes specific science course mandates (biology, chemistry, physics) and allows schools to determine which 3 aligned science credits fulfill requirements, including computer science and career/technical education options.

  • Simplifies language throughout by replacing gendered pronouns ("his or her") with neutral terms ("the pupil's").

  • Removes multiple alternative pathways and exemptions for algebra II completion (extended timelines, career/technical education equivalencies, statistics alternatives) under personal curriculum provisions.
