Bill > SB1484

This bill creates an instructional materials web portal to be developed and maintained by the Commissioner of Education. The web portal will provide information on instructional materials on the state's adopted list or submitted by publishers, including details such as price, system requirements, and coverage of essential knowledge and skills. The bill also establishes a repository of open educational resources and other electronic instructional materials that school districts and charter schools can access at no cost, and allows publishers to submit materials for inclusion in the repository. The bill authorizes the use of state instructional materials funds to pay for expenses associated with the web portal.
