Montana HJ36 encourages school districts to teach cursive writing to students.

Montana HJ36 is a joint resolution encouraging Montana's school districts to provide students with instruction on how to read and write in cursive. The resolution highlights the importance of cursive for reading historical documents and signing names, as well as the cognitive benefits of learning cursive. It also notes the decline in cursive skills among students due to increased reliance on technology. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Board of Public Education, and each public school board in Montana.
