Requires the district school board to post course title, textbooks, instructional material, syllabus and applicable state academic content standards on the school district’s website.
Personal Choice and Responsibility
Parents have been blindsided by content of what is being taught in school. Allows full access for parents to research.
Local Control
The law allows the district school board to establish supplemental courses that are not inconsistent with the prescribed courses and may adopt courses of study in lieu of state courses of study upon approval by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Parents have been blindsided by content of these alternate courses. This will make the information available but it still doesn’t ensure prior notice be given parents before adoption.
