Bill > SR109

This resolution establishes the Senate Task Force on Legislative Curriculum Mandates, a group designed to comprehensively review and assess existing curriculum requirements for kindergarten through 12th grade in the state. The task force will be composed of eight members, including two senators from different political parties who will serve as co-chairs, and six education experts representing diverse perspectives from public, private, and charter school sectors. The task force's primary responsibilities include reviewing current legislative curriculum mandates, evaluating their educational and financial impacts, considering potential revisions or consolidations, and consulting with various educational stakeholders like educators, administrators, parents, and students. The group will have the authority to conduct meetings and hearings, and can seek assistance from state, county, and municipal departments as needed. Within one year of the resolution's adoption, the task force is required to submit a detailed report to the Senate President and Senate members, outlining their findings, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the existing curriculum mandates.
