SB 1387 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 15-721 and 15-722 to require textbooks and supplemental materials selected for common schools and high schools to include fair, accurate, inclusive and respectful representations of persons with disabilities and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

• Modifies language in both sections regarding textbook approval timelines, replacing "prior to" with "before" for consistency in describing when governing boards must approve courses and textbooks.

• Applies the new representation requirements to textbooks and supplemental materials used in all school courses and programs in Arizona school districts.
