Georgia's Superintendent of Schools seemingly reversed course Wednesday following backlash over the state's refusal to provide funding for a new Advanced Placement class in African American Studies. In a statement, Richard Woods said that the state will provide funding to districts that use a course code that has been in the catalog of state-funded courses since 2020. 'Districts using this course code will receive state funding,' he said.

' 'I am meeting with the this morning to confirm that with this workaround, students taking this course will receive the same GPA quality points as their peers in other AP courses. Since this course is a college-level course, there must be parity between this course and all other AP offerings,' she said.
