The proposed bill aims to enhance curriculum transparency for parents of students in kindergarten through grade twelve by requiring the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish an online portal. This portal will allow parents, faculty, and staff to access instructional materials, including textbooks and library media materials, and will enable parents to review and opt out of specific library materials for their children. The bill amends Arkansas Code 6-16-103, removing references to "public or elementary" schools and adding provisions for the creation and maintenance of the online portal, which will facilitate easy access to instructional materials and ensure compliance with educational standards.

The new online portal will provide various functionalities, such as allowing parents to search for instructional materials by district, school, and grade level, as well as review summaries and full content of textbooks. Additionally, it will help school administrators and staff by centralizing instructional materials in a searchable database, thereby reducing workload and ensuring transparency. The bill mandates that the portal be implemented by January 15, 2026, and includes definitions for key terms such as "district," "instructional material," and "library media material" to clarify the scope of the legislation.
