Oregon Civics Standards
Oregon's 2024 Social Science Standards, revised per Senate Bill 702 to strengthen civics content, organize K-12 instruction across four domains: Civics, Geography, Economics, and History. Senate Bill 513 (2021) established a mandatory 0.5 credit stand-alone civics course for students entering grade 9 in 2022-23 or later (class of 2026+), which must appear separately on transcripts and cannot be folded into other social science courses. Civics content addresses political institutions at local, state, tribal, and national levels; voting as a fundamental civil right; values and principles of a pluralistic democracy; and the contributions of historically underrepresented groups. Integration of Indigenous history, Holocaust/genocide education, and contemporary civic issues is required throughout all social science courses.
