Ohio House Bill 33 created the Ohio Computer Science Promise (CS Promise) program. ORC 3322.20 requires the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to develop a list of approved CS Promise program eligible providers and courses that the Department publishes annually, which is the purpose of this Request for Information (RFI). The Department is providing information about the criteria and process for establishing a list of providers and quality Computer Science courses. Under the program, students in grades 7-12 can enroll, at no cost to the student, in one computer science course not offered by the student's secondary school per academic year and receive high school credit for the course. Any student enrolled in a public secondary school may participate in the program if the student meets the applicable eligibility criteria. Students in grades seven and eight may participate in the program for high school credit if permissible under their district or school’s advance coursework policy.
