Bill > HB2273

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to further define the State Board of Education and provide for academic standards review. Specifically, it clarifies that the State Board of Education is a departmental administrative board within the Department of Education, and it requires the Board to establish a schedule for reviewing all academic standards at least every three years. The bill outlines the review process, which includes determining if the standards are age-appropriate, clear, industry-specific, and meet the needs of the job market, and making revisions as necessary. The Board must also submit a report to the legislature on the review process and any updates or revisions to the academic standards.
