AI Summary
This bill requires the Michigan Department of Education to develop or adopt a list of model cursive handwriting instruction programs by June 1, 2027, and provide guidance on how cursive instruction can be incorporated into state academic standards to meet Michigan merit standard credit requirements. Starting in the 2027-2028 school year, school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies are strongly encouraged to include one of these model cursive instruction programs in their curriculum. If the model programs are developed before the 2026-2027 school year, schools are encouraged to implement them even earlier. The bill aims to promote cursive handwriting education by providing optional instructional resources for public schools, allowing them flexibility in how they choose to incorporate cursive learning into their existing curriculum.
