(Harrisbur, Pa.) Rep. Joshua D. Kail (Beaver/Washington) announced yesterday that House Bill 1332 that he is co-sponsoring that would require school districts to publish the curriculum that will be taught for each grade and subject area so parents can review the lessons and textbooks in advance of the school year has passed the House.

Kail said via statement “Parents should never be left in the dark when it comes to their child’s education,” Kail said. “Transparency between parents and school districts will create an environment that best suits our students.”

The bill would go into effect for the 2022-23 academic year. Kail said a school administrator or designee would be required to post the curriculum online in order to avoid overloading teachers. School entities would also have 30 business days to update their websites after approval of updated curriculum.

The legislation now heads to the governor’s desk.
