STATE OF IDAHO REQUIREMENTS
Idaho standards were developed with several related existing standards from CSTA (Computer Science Teacher Association), ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education), Idaho Department of Education, and Idaho CTE Programming Standards.
CSTA 2016 Computer Science draft standards are the primary source since it aligns with the new K-12 CS Framework. The K-12 CS framework provides overarching, high-level guidance per grade bands, while the standards provide detailed student performance expectations at particular grade levels.

At Rex, we have matched Idaho’s vision with our own.
STATE OF IDAHO REQUIREMENTS:
Requirements:
- HB 648 requires each high school in Idaho to make at least one computer science course available to students by fiscal year 2020.
- Classes can be offered virtually if a district cannot accommodate direct instruction.
