AN ACT REQUIRING CULTURAL EDUCATION FOR SUPERINTENDENTS AND BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS.

HB 5506 requires school district leaders - including superintendents, assistant superintendents, and board presidents - in districts where 80% or more of students belong to a single ethnic group to complete 30 credit hours of cultural education. This education must cover the history and socioeconomic conditions of that specific ethnic group. The law applies only to districts meeting the 80% threshold, targeting school leaders who oversee schools with high ethnic homogeneity. It mandates concrete training for these officials but does not alter student curriculum or require similar education for other school staff.
