LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires the Instructional Quality Commission to develop, and the State Board of Education to adopt, modify, or revise, a model curriculum in Native American studies. Existing law encourages, beginning in the school year following the adoption of the model curriculum, each school district and charter school that maintains any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, that does not otherwise offer a standards-based Native American studies curriculum to offer a course of study in Native American studies based on the model curriculum. Existing law makes the implementation of these provisions subject to the receipt of funds for these purposes.
This bill would appropriate $800,000 from the General Fund to the
State Department of Education to fund the development by the commission of a model curriculum in Native American studies.
