Indiana middle schools will be turning a focus toward civics education starting in the fall of 2022 after the legislature passed a bill this spring requiring civics education for all students in grades 6, 7 and 8.
The bill sets up a commission on civics education, which will be chaired by Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, and will make recommendations on how to make civics a priority in Indiana schools.
In a phone interview, Crouch said the commission may go beyond the law that was passed this spring and recommend Indiana middle schools require students in some grades to also complete civic projects, in addition to requiring they take a one-semester civics class each year of middle school.
