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

SB 454 creates a Cultural History Advisory Board within Michigan's Department of Education. The board, appointed by the superintendent of public instruction, must include 16 members representing specific 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 experts. The board must develop curriculum recommendations and professional development resources for K-12 schools on teaching the history of these cultural groups, with a deadline of two years after all members are appointed. This bill directly affects Michigan public schools by establishing a new body to guide inclusive history education resources.
