What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction to incorporate

the Holocaust and other genocides into the model academic standards for social

studies and to develop model curricula and instructional materials on the same

subject. Under the bill, in developing the model curricula and instructional

materials, the state superintendent must consult with an organization in this state

that provides Holocaust education programs to public and private schools and offers

educational tools and training to teachers and with a state agency in another state

that has developed model curricula on the Holocaust and other genocides. Finally,

the bill requires a school board, independent charter school, and private school

participating in a parental choice program to include instruction on the Holocaust

and other genocides in its respective curriculum at least once in grades 5 to 8 and

once in grades 9 to 12.
