Requires State Board of Education to evaluate historical events for inclusion in New Jersey Student Learning Standards.

This bill directs the New Jersey State Board of Education to review and update the state's Social Studies Student Learning Standards during the next scheduled revision to include instruction on recent historical events for students in grades K-12. The legislation specifically requires the board to consider adding standards related to the September 11, 2001 attacks and other historically significant events, while also allowing the board to determine additional events to include. The bill mandates that the board follow its existing public review and adoption process, which includes providing opportunities for public comment in person or in writing. Additionally, the law requires the board to evaluate new historical events for inclusion each time the standards are updated in the future.
