New Jersey public schools must include Latino and Hispanic history in its social studies curriculum starting fall 2026 under a law recently signed by Gov. Phil Murphy. Lessons must be historically accurate, culturally relevant, community-based, and developmentally appropriate, according to the law. It also requires the state Department of Education to provide districts with sample learning activities for instruction.
