Pennsylvania SB28 mandates Black history education in public and private schools.

Pennsylvania SB28 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education to develop and disseminate educational resources for Black history. These resources must be age-appropriate and sequential, and can be used by school entities in their curriculum. The department must also provide guidelines for schools designing dedicated Black history courses. The bill mandates the department to update these resources and maintain a link on its equity and inclusion website.
