STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six
AN ACT prohibiting the use of the World Economic Forum materials within state curriculum.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Curriculum; World Economic Forum Materials Prohibited. Amend RSA 193-E:2-a, V(a) to read as follows:
V.(a) The general court requires every 10 years the state board of education and the department of education to institute procedures for maintaining, updating, improving, and refining the minimum standards for public school approval and the curriculum frameworks for each area of education identified in paragraph I. Each school district shall be responsible for maintaining, updating, improving, and refining curriculum. The curriculum shall present educational goals, broad pedagogical approaches, and strategies for assisting students in the development of the skills, competencies, and knowledge called for by the minimum standards for public school approval and academic standards for each area of education identified in paragraph I. The curriculum also shall be prohibited from including any lectures, lesson plans, and other educational materials provided or created by the World Economic Forum. The curriculum frameworks shall serve as a guide and reference to what New Hampshire students should know and be able to do in each area of education identified in paragraph I. Curriculum frameworks do not establish a statewide curriculum. It is the responsibility of local teachers, administrators, and school boards to identify and implement approaches best suited for the students in their communities to acquire the skills and knowledge included in the curriculum, to determine the scope, organization, and sequence of course offerings, and to choose the methods of instruction, the activities, and the materials to be used.
2 New Paragraph; World Economic Forum Materials Prohibited. Amend RSA 186:11 by inserting after paragraph XXXVII the following new paragraph:
XXXVIII. World Economic Forum Materials Prohibited. Prohibit all public schools from including in curriculum any lectures, lesson plans, or other educational materials provided or created by the World Economic Forum.
3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
