Bill > SB00882

This bill requires local and regional school boards to provide increased transparency regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training and instructional materials. Specifically, the bill mandates that school boards must publish three categories of information on their websites: (1) all staff and faculty training materials related to nondiscrimination, diversity, equity, inclusion, race, ethnicity, sex, or bias; (2) all instructional or curriculum materials primarily focused on these topics; and (3) procedures for documenting, reviewing, and approving such training and instructional materials. The materials must be made publicly accessible online either before the first use of the training or instruction, or within seven days after, and must remain available on the website for at least five years. The goal of this legislation is to give parents and students easier access to review DEI-related materials, promoting transparency in how schools approach these sensitive and important educational topics. By requiring schools to publicly share these materials, the bill aims to increase accountability and provide stakeholders with insights into the content of diversity and inclusion training and curriculum.
