Bill Summary

This bill requires legislative approval of updates or revisions to core curriculum content standards. Under current law, the State Board of Education is directed to review and update the core curriculum content standards every five years. This bill provides that any update or revision made to the core curriculum content standards following the bill's effective date will require the approval of the Legislature. The State board is required to submit the update or revision to the Legislature, and the Legislature is required to adopt a concurrent resolution within 45 days of submission to approve or disapprove the update or revision. If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to approve the update or revision, it is required to be implemented. If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to disapprove the update or revision, it may not be implemented.

AI Summary

This bill requires legislative approval for any updates or revisions to the state's core curriculum content standards, which are the educational guidelines that ensure all children are prepared for citizenship and the workforce. Currently, the State Board of Education is responsible for reviewing and updating these standards every five years. However, under this bill, any changes made after the bill becomes law must be submitted to the Legislature for approval. The Legislature will have 45 days to pass a concurrent resolution, which is a formal statement of opinion adopted by both houses of the Legislature, to either approve or reject the proposed changes. If the Legislature approves the changes, they will be implemented; if they disapprove, the changes will not be put into effect.
