AI Summary
This bill establishes a culturally responsive education curriculum and standards for all school districts, charter schools, and private schools in New York. It requires the Commissioner of Education to develop rules and regulations for implementing culturally responsive education, including curriculum standards for the history and achievements of various racial and ethnic groups, as well as the role of racial oppression and inequity in the formation of the state and nation. The bill also mandates that high school students pass a course in culturally responsive education to graduate, requires teachers to complete a course in teaching diverse cultural backgrounds, and incorporates cultural competency into professional development for educators. Additionally, the bill creates a pilot program in culturally responsive education, funded by a $25 million appropriation, to be awarded to school districts based on criteria such as student poverty, English language learners, and community engagement.
