HF 2372, titled "Civic seal designation for high school students provided", aims to establish a civic seal designation that high school students can earn upon graduation. The bill has been introduced in the state legislature and currently has three additional authors: Gander, Norris, and Sexton.
The main provisions of HF 2372 include:
Civic Seal Designation: The bill would create a new "civic seal" that high school students can earn and have included on their diploma and transcript upon graduation.
Eligibility Criteria: To earn the civic seal, students would need to demonstrate proficiency in civics, government, and community engagement through a combination of coursework, volunteer work, and other approved activities.
Implementation: The state Department of Education would be responsible for developing the specific criteria and process for students to earn the civic seal. Schools would be required to notify students of this opportunity and assist them in meeting the requirements.
If passed, HF 2372 could have the following impacts:
Increased Civic Engagement: The civic seal designation may incentivize high school students to become more involved in their local communities and develop a stronger understanding of government and civic processes.
Enhanced Credentials: The civic seal could provide students with an additional credential to highlight their civic knowledge and participation, potentially strengthening their applications for college, scholarships, and future employment.
Consistency Across Schools: By establishing a statewide standard for the civic seal, the bill aims to ensure that all high school students have the opportunity to earn this recognition, regardless of which school they attend.
HF 2372 was introduced on March 17, 2025 and currently has a companion bill, SF 2565, in the state Senate. The bill has been assigned to the Education Committee for further consideration and discussion before potentially moving forward in the legislative process.
