AB 119

This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction, in consultation

with organizations representing law enforcement, to promulgate rules to develop a

model curriculum for pupils in grades 5 to 12 to instruct pupils on how to interact

with law enforcement with mutual cooperation and respect.

The bill requires a school board or operator of an independent charter school to

include in at least two grades from 5 to 8 and at least two grades from 9 to 12

instruction in law enforcement interactions that is consistent with the model

curriculum, unless the school board or governing board of the independent charter

school opts out of including such instruction. The bill specifies that a school board

that elects not to include such instruction must adopt a resolution making that

election.
