Bill > SB248

This bill requires each public school to create and maintain an electronic, publicly accessible list of all print and digital materials in the school library and all instructional materials used in the school curriculum. The list must be posted on the school's website in a searchable and downloadable format, and must identify each item by its title, author, and International Standard Book Number (ISBN). The bill defines specific terms, including "instructional material" (which covers classroom materials but excludes tests and audiovisual materials), "print material" (which includes books, graphic novels, magazines, and other written documents), and "school library" (any area in a public school containing library books). Schools must keep this list updated to accurately reflect the current materials available. The purpose of the bill appears to be increasing transparency about the educational materials used in public schools, allowing parents, students, and community members to easily view what resources are available in school libraries and classrooms. The bill also includes a provision that exempts local governments from certain additional expenses related to implementing these new requirements.
