Colorado is looking to expand its requirements for teaching Black history in the state’s public elementary and secondary schools, including charter schools.
Last week, House Bill 25-1149 passed its first hurdle of the Colorado General Assembly by advancing from the House Education Committee to the House Appropriations Committee.
The bill, titled “Comprehensive Black History and Culture Education in K-12,” will require the Colorado Board of Education to adopt standards “related to Black historical and cultural studies.”
