AN ACT REQUIRING BOARDS OF EDUCATION TO POST
CURRICULUM ONLINE.

SUMMARY
Current law requires each local or regional board of education to post
the objectives, scope, and sequence of the school district’s approved
curriculum on the board’s website starting with that for the 2026-27
school year (which begins on July 1, 2026) . The bill expands the

instructional material used by the school district as part of their
student’s educational curriculum (excluding academic tests and
assessments).
