Current Bill Summary

SB 1290 - Subject to appropriation, this act establishes the "Classical Education Grant Program" and corresponding fund in the state treasury for the purpose of assisting school districts with providing programs in classical education. The act defines a "classical education program" as a program that educates students in the liberal arts and sciences. The liberal arts consist of certain language and mathematical skills, while the sciences consist of bodies of knowledge including the human sciences, the natural sciences, and the theological sciences, as such terms are described in the act. A school district that wishes to receive a grant shall submit an application to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education outlining the proposed classical educational program, establishing key success metrics, identifying resources available in the community, and specifying additional resources necessary for successful implementation of the program.

This act is identical to HB 2447 (2024).
