2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 1411
| Introduced by Senator Ochoa Bogh |
February 16, 2024 |
An act to amend Section 33530 of the Education Code, relating to curriculum.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1411, Ochoa Bogh.
Instructional Quality Commission: curriculum framework and evaluation criteria committee: higher education faculty representation.
Existing law establishes the Instructional Quality Commission and requires the commission to, among other things, recommend curriculum frameworks and instructional materials to the State Board of Education for adoption and develop criteria for evaluating instructional materials submitted for adoption, as specified.
This bill would require the commission, when it revises a curriculum framework in mathematics or science, to ensure that the associated curriculum framework and evaluation criteria committee includes representation from higher education faculty with relevant subject matter expertise, and would authorize the Intersegmental Committee
of the Academic Senates to nominate 2 faculty from California public institutions of higher education for consideration to serve on the relevant curriculum framework and evaluation criteria committee.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 33530 of the Education Code proposed by SB 1412 to be operative only if this bill and SB 1412 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
