This bill mandates that the state board of education require school districts to implement a policy for instruction in holocaust and genocide studies. A key aspect of this instruction is to include the impact of these historical events on individuals with disabilities. The bill introduces new legal language by adding a paragraph to RSA 186:11, specifically stating that school districts must adopt this policy.

The bill also specifies that it will take effect 60 days after its passage. The insertion of the new paragraph emphasizes the importance of recognizing the experiences of people with disabilities in the context of holocaust and genocide studies, thereby enhancing the educational curriculum to be more inclusive and comprehensive.
