Bill to Standardize Curriculum in Hawaii’s Public Schools Advances
The Senate Committee on Ways and Means advanced a bill on March 2nd that requires the DOE to establish a model curriculum for each grade level in Hawaii’s public schools. SB 3059, introduced by Senator Norman Sakamoto, calls for the model curriculum to be in place by the 2008-09 school year. If passed, the bill will create a structured curriculum for all public schools and help meet No Child Left Behind performance standards.
