S 1821 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State Board of Education to evaluate historical events for inclusion in New Jersey Student Learning Standards.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Board of Education to update Social Studies curriculum standards for K-12 students to include instruction on recent historical events. Specifically, it mandates the board to consider adding standards about events like September 11, 2001, and other significant historical moments during the next scheduled curriculum review. The process must include public comment opportunities and follow existing procedures for reviewing and adopting standards. The bill does not dictate specific content but establishes a regular mechanism for evaluating and potentially adding new historical topics to the curriculum.
