In February 2023, the Florida Department of Education convened a statewide group of content experts to review current state academic standards for alignment to s. 1003.42 F.S., as amended by House Bill 7 (2022). After their initial review, the decision was made to draft a new K-12 African American History strand of social studies standards and benchmarks. Benchmarks within the standards have been developed to address all the African American History requirement of s. 1003.42 F.S. These benchmarks opened for public review on 6/2/2023. There will be 21 days for the public to provide comment.
To review and provide comment on the benchmarks, please visit the following link and complete all necessary questions.
