	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 426, as amended, Yee. Public school instruction: curriculum
frameworks.
   Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt the
content of curriculum frameworks, evaluation criteria, and worksheets
developed to supplement curriculum frameworks in accordance with
regulations it adopts to govern the development of curriculum
frameworks and the adoption of instructional materials.
   This bill would require the Senate Committee on Rules to inform
the State Department of Education regarding each concurrent
resolution adopted by the Legislature that proposes changes to
curriculum frameworks that are currently under review by the
Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission. The
bill would require the commission, as part of its regular process of
developing and revising curriculum frameworks as requested by the
state board, to  vote on whether to adopt  
consider  each concurrent resolution reported to the department
by the Senate Committee on Rules  and vote on whether to adopt
the resolution  . The bill would require the commission to
present the resolutions it adopts to the state board. The bill would
require the state board to consider each of the resolutions presented
by the commission as part of the board's regular process of
developing and revising curriculum frameworks. The bill would require
the commission and the state board to perform these duties within
the existing cycle for developing and revising curriculum frameworks
in a manner that does not impose additional costs on the department.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
