Michigan HB4675 proposes creating a model program for cursive handwriting instruction in public schools.

Michigan HB4675 mandates the Michigan Department of Education to develop or adopt a list of model programs for cursive handwriting instruction by June 1, 2027. These programs will be made available to public schools. The bill encourages school boards to incorporate one of these model programs into their curriculum starting from the 2027-2028 school year, or earlier if the model programs are ready by the start of the 2026-2027 school year. This initiative aims to integrate cursive handwriting instruction into state standards to meet the credit requirements of the Michigan Merit Curriculum.
