An Act relative to geography education

This bill establishes a commission to study geography education in Massachusetts public schools (K-12). The commission, composed of 8 members including educators, industry representatives, and state officials, will assess current curriculum frameworks, professional development opportunities, and best practices in geography education. It must report findings and recommendations to the legislature by December 31, 2025, including draft legislation if needed. The bill also creates "Massachusetts Geography Education Week" in early April and updates the council on global education to include geographic alliance representatives. This is a procedural measure focused on study and reporting, not immediate policy changes.
