the College Board said the development committee and experts charged with authoring the Advanced Placement course “will determine the details of those changes over the next few months.”
“We are committed to providing an unflinching encounter with the facts and evidence of African American history and culture,” the company said.
It remains unclear what the changes are or when they will be made public.
The course gained national attention when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2024, said he would ban the course in his state because it pushed a "political agenda."
But the official curriculum for the course, released after DeSantis' administration rejected it, downplayed some components that had drawn objections from the governor and other conservatives.
The College Board faced an onslaught of criticism from activists and African American scholars outraged at the notion the course changed because of political controversy.
The course was launched in 60 schools in the U.S. and will be expanded to 800 schools and 16,000 students this upcoming school year.
The nonprofit testing company previously said revisions to the course were substantially complete and not shaped by political influence before DeSantis shared his objections.
The company said Monday the creation of the course had prioritized access to a discipline that is not widely available to high schoolers, plus bringing that content to as many students as possible — a possible reference to students in states run by conservatives.
“Regrettably,” the nonprofit testing company said, those two goals “came into conflict.”
