This bill mandates that the State Board of Education adopt New Jersey Student Learning Standards specifically focused on the history and contributions of Latino and Hispanic Americans within the subjects of Social Studies and English Language Arts. It requires school districts to incorporate this instruction into the curriculum for students in grades kindergarten through 12, ensuring that the contributions of Latino and Hispanic Americans are recognized and taught as part of the educational framework.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Commissioner of Education, in collaboration with the Commission on Latino and Hispanic Heritage, will provide school districts with sample learning activities and resources to aid in the implementation of these instructional requirements. This legislation builds upon existing laws that call for the development of curriculum guidelines related to Latino and Hispanic culture, history, and heritage, but it emphasizes the necessity of including specific instruction on these topics in the school curriculum.
