Bill Summary

Under current law, the State Board of Education is directed to review and update the core curriculum content standards every five years. This bill provides that any update or revision made to the core curriculum content standards following the bill's effective date will require the approval of the Legislature. The State board is required to submit the update or revision to the Legislature, and the Legislature is required to adopt a concurrent resolution within 45 days of submission to approve or disapprove the update or revision. If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to approve the update or revision, it is required to be implemented. If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to disapprove the update or revision, it may not be implemented.
AI Summary
This bill requires legislative approval for any updates or revisions to the state's core curriculum content standards, which are the educational goals for all students. Currently, the State Board of Education is responsible for reviewing and updating these standards every five years to ensure students are prepared for citizenship and the job market. However, this bill mandates that any changes made after its effective date must be submitted to the Legislature for approval. The Legislature will have 45 days to pass a concurrent resolution, which is a formal statement agreed upon by both the Senate and General Assembly, to either approve or reject the proposed changes. If approved, the updated standards will be implemented; if rejected, they will not be put into effect.
