House Bill 4310 amends the Education Code to require a public school district, in adopting a recommended or designated scope and sequence for a required curriculum subject in a particular grade level, to ensure sufficient time is provided to meet the state curriculum standards for that subject and grade level. The bill prohibits a district from penalizing a teacher who does not follow such a recommended or designated scope or sequence based on the teacher's determination that the teacher's students need more or less time to demonstrate proficiency in the applicable standards, unless the district's action with respect to the teacher is based on certain documented evidence of a deficiency in classroom instruction.
