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).
Provisions
1. Appropriates a non-lapsing blank sum from the GF to ADE for distribution to the Arizona
Holocaust Education Center for the Center's creation and operation to fulfill the
requirements of Holocaust and other genocide education.
