Bill overview
This bill modifies Michigan’s school code to strengthen the core academic curriculum required for public schools. It mandates that all students receive a curriculum aligned with state standards, particularly in history, reading, and math. The bill also establishes a process for updating math standards and requires the inclusion of learning objectives related to genocide, specifically the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide, within history curriculum. Finally, it outlines how school districts must provide reading instruction based on the ‘science of reading’ to ensure students develop foundational literacy skills.
