AR SB1007

Establishes that social studies or history courses in grades 7-12 must include a relevant review of United States history from colonization through 1890, specifically covering the colonial period, American Revolution, foundations of U.S. Government, and the American Civil War

Applies the requirement to courses that grant graduation credit, including civics, United States after 1890, United States Government, and any current or future social studies or history courses that would benefit from studying this period, except advanced placement courses

Directs the State Board of Education to adopt or amend rules as necessary to implement the requirement

Responds to findings that 2015 state social studies curriculum guidelines were insufficient, allowing students to only learn critical early U.S. history in grade 5
