Provides that following each curriculum overview, the State Board of Education shall: (1) develop an action plan to address identified gaps or areas for improvement; (2) provide professional development for educators on updates or changes; and (3) monitor the implementation of curriculum updates and assess their impact on student outcomes.

Requires, beginning January 1, 2026, the State Board of Education to conduct a comprehensive review of all mandated units of study whenever new standards for student learning are adopted or every 10 years, whichever happens first (rather than every 5 years).
