Bill > SB645

This bill repeals existing sections and enacts new provisions related to the use of certain training, instructional, and curricular materials in public schools and charter schools. Key provisions include: prohibiting the state from mandating or promoting specific curriculum, textbooks, or materials, and requiring local school boards to approve and adopt curriculum at least six months prior to implementation. It also establishes the Missouri Education Transparency and Accountability Portal to provide public access to school districts' curriculum, source materials, and professional development materials. The bill further restricts schools from requiring or compelling certain beliefs or concepts related to race, sex, ethnicity, and national origin, and provides for enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations.
