Overview

Appropriates a blank sum from the state General Fund (GF) in FY 2025 for the creation and operation of the Arizona Holocaust Education Center.

History

Laws 2021, Chapter 418 established the requirement that students be taught about the Holocaust and other genocides at least twice between the 7th and 12th grades. This requirement must be included by the State Board of Education (SBE) in its course of study and competency requirements (A.R.S. § 15-701.02).

While SBE regulates the conduct of public schools and sets policies, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), which is led by the elected Superintendent of Public Instruction, is responsible for executing and administering these policies (A.R.S. §§ 15-203; 15-231).
