EDUCATION: Repeals certain student instruction and teacher training requirements and authorizes the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to adopt policies requiring the inclusion of certain topics in such instruction and training (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

HB 320 modifies the requirements for student instruction and teacher training in the state's public education system. The bill allows the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to create policies that mandate specific topics be included in what students learn and how teachers are trained. It also requires the board to evaluate the timing and frequency of teacher training to ensure it does not interfere with regular academic activities. This legislation directly impacts school districts, educators, and the state board by shifting certain instructional and training decisions to the board's authority.
