Author: Devon John Mathis

Summary
AB 1821, as introduced, Ramos. Pupil instruction: course of study: social sciences: treatment of Native Americans. Existing law requires the adopted course of study for grades 1 to 6, inclusive, and the adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to include certain areas of study, including, among others, English, mathematics, social sciences, science, and visual and performing arts, as specified.Commencing with the 2025–26 school year, this bill, with respect to both of the above-referenced adopted courses of study for social sciences, would require any instruction on the Spanish missions in California or the Gold Rush Era to also include instruction regarding the treatment of Native Americans during those periods. To the extent that this bill would create new duties for local educational agencies or local officials, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

Status
From printer. May be heard in committee February 11.
