Bill > H414

This bill proposes changes to how the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) establishes curriculum frameworks for core subjects, which are sets of guidelines for what students should learn. Specifically, it amends Section 1E of Chapter 69 of the General Laws. The key change is that instead of simply submitting a copy of these frameworks to the joint committee on education, arts, and humanities sixty days before they take effect, the bill requires that a copy be submitted to the joint committee on education and the general court for their final approval before the frameworks can be implemented. This means the legislature will have a more direct role in approving these educational standards.
