Bill Summary
Posting of classroom curricula on school website, alternative review procedure provided for certain copyrighted materials
AI Summary
This bill requires local school districts in Alabama to post current adopted curricula for each class on their school websites at the beginning of each school year, or within 30 days of adoption, making this information accessible to students and their parents or guardians. If a school lacks its own website, the curricula must be posted on the local board of education's or the State Department of Education's website. For any instructional materials that are copyrighted and cannot be posted online due to copyright law, schools must provide alternative access methods within 10 days of a written request from a student, parent, or guardian, including physical access at the school during normal hours or temporary 24-hour remote access credentials, without requiring the user to sign a nondisclosure agreement or waive any rights beyond complying with federal copyright law. The bill also clarifies that a local board of education, not just a local board of educational, is responsible for allowing parents or guardians to examine instructional materials.
