Existing law requires a school district, as part of its adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer courses in specified areas of study, including social sciences. Existing law establishes the Instructional Quality Commission and requires the commission to, among other things, recommend curriculum frameworks to the State Board of Education. This bill would require the commission to identify model programs, standards, and curricula relating to ethnic studies at the high school level. The bill would authorize the commission to consult with experts on ethnic studies, multiculturalism, or diversity, including, among others, representatives from the State Department of Education and classroom teachers who are currently teaching in California public high schools. The bill would require the commission, on or before January 1, 2017, to prepare and submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature that, among other things, identifies the best practices and standards for establishing and implementing ethnic studies in public high schools, and would require the report to be made available on the State Department of Education's Internet Web site. The bill would make the implementation of the bill's provisions subject to the availability of funds to the commission for those purposes from any source, including state, federal, and other nonstate funding sources.
