Establishes the Black History Education and Awareness Act and designates the first week in February as Black History Week

SB 967 proposes creating the Black History Education and Awareness Act and designating the first week in February as Black History Week. The bill would require public schools to incorporate Black history into their curriculum during this designated week and support related educational activities. It directly affects public school districts and educators by mandating specific curriculum content during February. The legislation aims to strengthen educational focus on Black history through structured, state-supported programming. (Note: This bill is currently in committee review and has not yet become law.)
