St. Paul Public Schools plan to make ethnic studies a graduation requirement starting with the class of 2025, and work has begun on a course to be piloted at three high schools this fall.
Teachers have been selected and curriculum and lesson plans are to be written this summer, according to an update provided to school board members on Tuesday.
The board still must sign off on the Critical Ethnic Studies requirement, with a vote expected by year s end. The move would fulfill requests made in recent years by a student advisory board and by members of the Asian community the district s largest demographic group.
