Asian American history; instruction requirements

SB 1301 requires Arizona public schools to include instruction on the history and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders starting in the 2028-2029 school year. The law mandates that school districts develop curriculum covering this history within Arizona, the U.S., and globally, including civil rights advancements, contributions to arts/science/government, and economic/cultural impacts. School districts must annually attest by June 14 each year (beginning in 2029) that this instruction is planned and implemented systemically. The bill directly affects all Arizona public school districts and charter schools through state curriculum requirements.
