Instructional materials: compliance review.
- Requires school districts to select instructional materials that accurately represent California's diverse population.
- Mandates inclusion of contributions from LGBTQ+ Americans, persons with disabilities, and various ethnic groups.
- Establishes state monitoring of school districts' compliance with diversity requirements in learning materials.
- Requires materials to showcase all genders in professional, vocational, and executive roles.
Assembly Member Solache's education reform measure tasks the California Department of Education with monitoring school districts' compliance regarding inclusive instructional materials, building upon existing requirements for materials to reflect the state's diversity.
The legislation maintains current mandates for school district governing boards to select instructional materials that accurately portray contributions from people of all genders in professional, vocational, and executive roles. Materials must continue representing the roles of Native Americans, African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, European Americans, LGBTQ+ Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other ethnic, cultural, religious, and socioeconomic groups in California's and America's development. The requirements also encompass portrayal of entrepreneurial and labor contributions.
Under the new provisions, the Department of Education would incorporate verification of these instructional material standards into its existing annual compliance monitoring process for state and federal programs. This creates a formal oversight mechanism for the long-standing diversity requirements in material selection.
