Bill > HB2368

This bill requires district school boards to make the curriculum for each course of study available to the public on their school district's website, with a phased implementation approach. Specifically, larger school districts with an average daily membership over 10,000 students must comply by August 15, 2025, while smaller districts with 10,000 or fewer students will have until August 15, 2026 to implement the new requirement. The bill amends Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 336.035 to add this transparency provision, ensuring that parents, students, and community members can easily access detailed information about the courses being offered in their local school districts. The legislation is deemed an emergency measure, taking effect on July 1, 2025, which suggests the lawmakers view the curriculum transparency as critically important for public understanding of educational offerings. The bill maintains existing provisions about school board responsibilities, including the ability to establish supplemental courses and coordinate health education programs, while adding this new requirement for public curriculum disclosure.
