Bill Summary

This bill requires school districts to post curriculum plans for each course offered to students in each grade level at least 30 days prior to the beginning of a school year. Specifically, a school district would be required to post information concerning each unit of study, student learning objectives, and information concerning textbooks and other materials to be used in implementing the district's curriculum plans. School districts would be required to update their Internet websites each time a curriculum plan is updated or revised. The bill also requires school districts to post information concerning when and where textbooks and other materials used as part of the district's implementation of the district's curriculum plans will be available for review by the parents or legal guardians of students in the district. Parents and legal guardians would be given the opportunity to review these materials prior to the time in which they will be incorporated into classroom instruction. By requiring that school districts post their curriculum plans online and providing parents and legal guardians with the opportunity to review textbooks and other materials used as part of the curriculum, the State can ensure greater transparency and collaboration between school officials and the families they serve.

AI Summary

This bill requires public school districts to make their curriculum plans, which include details about each unit of study, what students are expected to learn (student learning objectives), and the textbooks and other materials that will be used, available online at least 30 days before the start of each school year.

Additionally, the bill mandates that school districts provide information on their websites about when and where parents and legal guardians can physically review these textbooks and materials before they are used in the classroom, aiming to increase transparency and parental involvement in education.
