Board hears draft resolution on curriculum transparency ahead of MASB delegate assembly
Summary
A board representative briefed members on a proposed MASB resolution asking for greater transparency around who writes curricula and state standardized tests; the resolutions and bylaws committee and the delegate assembly will meet Oct. 23 with a livestream available.
A board representative updated members on a proposed resolution to be considered at the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) delegate assembly and described next steps for submission.
The presenter said she drafted a resolution that "it's basically saying that curricula and state standardized tests, we need more transparency on who is writing those" and invited other members to propose amendments or to take the proposal to the resolutions committee in February. The presenter outlined delegate-assembly logistics: the committee meets Oct. 23 and the delegate assembly (also Oct. 23) will be livestreamed; she said legal review is typical before submission to ensure wording meets MASB requirements.
Members debated whether the state Department of Education solicited adequate input from principals and local boards for a controversial draft K–12 health framework and discussed how MASB-level resolutions can be used to push for local vetting and transparency. The board did not vote on a position at the work session.
