Bill > HSB672

This Study Bill enacts several changes to education law, including the establishment of a "Student First Scholarship Program" to provide financial assistance for students attending nonpublic schools, with eligibility based on income or individualized education programs (IEPs), and a "Student First Enrollment Supplement Fund" to provide additional funding to smaller school districts. It also mandates that school district boards of directors publish detailed information online about their curriculum, textbooks, and library materials, and establishes protocols for reviewing and removing library materials, with specific appeal processes for parents. The bill modifies requirements for social studies instruction, including a civics test for graduation, and adjusts provisions related to competent private instruction for students with special needs, open enrollment appeals, and the qualifications for teacher librarians, notably removing the master's degree requirement for their license.
