Revise laws to promote the teaching of cursive writing in schools
This bill amends Montana's legislative goals for public education to require that all students receive instruction in cursive handwriting. The law directly affects elementary and secondary schools by adding a new requirement to the state's educational objectives. It specifies that cursive instruction should develop cognitive and fine motor skills in young students and enable students to read original historical documents like the U.S. Constitution. The bill becomes effective on July 1, 2025, and does not mandate specific teaching methods or allocate funding for implementation.
