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, introducing new provisions that mandate the creation of this centralized, easily accessible online platform, which will facilitate searching and viewing instructional materials by district, school, and grade level.

Additionally, the bill outlines the functionalities of the portal, which will provide uniform access to Arkansas school standards, reduce the workload for school employees by centralizing instructional materials, and ensure compliance with changing rules and requirements through automatic updates. The implementation of this portal is set to be completed by January 15, 2026. The bill also clarifies definitions related to the terms "district," "instructional material," "library media material," "parent," and "school" to ensure clarity in its application.
