Act 35

Act 35 was passed by the Pennsylvania State Legislature in 2018. It requires all school districts (beginning in the 2020-2021 school year) in Pennsylvania to assess students once in their academic career (grades 7-12) in civics, government, and United States History. School districts have the option of creating their own (LEA - Local Education Authority created) assessment or utilizing the United States Citizenship Test examination. School districts must provide students who receive a perfect score with a certificate of recognition. Learn more about Act 35
