Education: curriculum; the cultural history advisory board; create. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1164f.

This bill creates a new Cultural History Advisory Board within the Michigan Department of Education to assist with developing curriculum and professional development focused on diverse cultural histories. The board will consist of appointed members representing various communities, including Asian-American and Pacific Islander, Latino and Hispanic, African-American, Indigenous, and Jewish-American groups, as well as educators, higher education representatives, and labor organizations. Once established, the board is tasked with providing recommendations on a K-12 curriculum toolkit and cultural competency training that addresses the histories of these specific populations. The legislation outlines the appointment process, term lengths, meeting requirements, and the board's responsibility to collaborate with community leaders and experts to guide curriculum development.
