SD 498 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act implementing elementary and secondary interdisciplinary climate justice education across the Commonwealth

This bill requires Massachusetts schools to include specific climate change concepts in their environmental science curriculum, covering topics like the carbon cycle and impacts on health and agriculture. It allows educators to integrate these climate standards into existing subjects such as history, social sciences, and business to provide a broader interdisciplinary approach. The state education department is authorized to provide resources and professional development materials to help schools implement these changes and may seek additional funding to support the initiative.
