	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1278, as amended, Wyland. Instructional materials: adoption.
   Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt basic
instructional materials for use in kindergarten and grades 1 to 8,
inclusive, for governing boards. Existing law sets forth a schedule
for the submission of instructional materials to the  state 
board for adoption. Notwithstanding this schedule, existing law
prohibits the state board from adopting instructional materials or
following the procedures related to that adoption until the 2013-14
school year.
   This bill would require the state board to adopt a revised
curriculum framework and evaluation criteria for instructional
materials in history-social science in 2011  and to adopt
instructional materials in that subject 30 months after the board
adopts the framework  .
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
