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

HB 4689 creates a Cultural History Advisory Board within Michigan's Department of Education. The board, appointed by the superintendent of public instruction, must include 2 members from each of 8 cultural communities (Asian-American/Pacific Islander, Latino/Hispanic, Black, Middle Eastern/North African/Chaldean, Indigenous, Caribbean-American, Jewish-American, European-American), plus educators, school administrators, labor representatives, and higher education members. The board must recommend a K-12 curriculum tool kit and professional development on cultural history within two years, collaborating with cultural organizations and schools. This bill establishes the framework for developing educational resources but does not mandate specific curriculum changes.
