Instructional materials: adoption.

Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt basic instructional materials for use in kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, for governing boards. Existing law sets forth a schedule for the submission of instructional materials to the state board for adoption. Notwithstanding this schedule, existing law prohibits the state board from adopting instructional materials or following the procedures related to that adoption until the 2013–14 school year. This bill would require the state board to adopt a revised curriculum framework and evaluation criteria for instructional materials in history-social science in 2011. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
