A new law requiring more information about classroom instruction be made available to parents went into effect this month.

Dubbed the Parents Right to Know Act, Senate Bill 48, sponsored by Senate Pro Tem Greg Reed, R-Jasper, will now require public schools to post curricula for each class publicly online.

The new law requires local superintendents and boards of education to verify no later than 30 days after the adoption of a curriculum that classroom teaching materials have been made available for public viewing on a school’s website.
