An Act to promote comprehensive and inclusive curriculum in schools

HD 2221 establishes a "Comprehensive and Inclusive Curriculum Trust Fund" managed by the Massachusetts education commissioner to support public schools in developing and implementing inclusive curricula. The fund provides grants for professional development, curriculum materials, and collaboration among schools, prioritizing underserved communities and districts new to inclusive teaching. It also mandates that all public schools teach accurate histories and contributions of underrepresented groups - including racial, ethnic, and cultural minorities - across subjects and history/social studies, emphasizing their experiences with discrimination and societal impacts. The bill requires annual reporting on fund usage and curriculum effectiveness to the legislature.
