Summary

The bill would mandate that every elementary or charter school in a district provide cursive‑handwriting instruction so students can produce readable documents by the end of fifth grade. Students must pass a teacher‑created test demonstrating competency in both reading and writing cursive. The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education could issue rules to implement the requirement.
