SB 472: Pupil instruction: Holocaust and genocide education: notice, survey, and grant program.
This bill requires the state to provide notice to school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools about the importance of teaching genocide and the Holocaust. The state will also issue a survey to these schools to assess their current instruction on these topics. A grant program will be established to provide funding for schools to improve their Holocaust and genocide education. The grant program will focus on providing professional development for teachers and direct allocations to schools to support their instruction. The bill aims to ensure that genocide and the Holocaust are taught in a way that is consistent with state standards and is interdisciplinary and age-appropriate for students.
