Could cursive writing be coming back to Michigan public schools?

Posted About One Year Ago by Steve Gove

In Lansing, a house bill would instruct the department of education to bring back something that hasn't been taught in the state in over a decade.

The bill would urge the department to develop lessons on cursive handwriting and make that curriculum available to public schools. The bill does not mandate the department to create a cursive plan but it would be "strongly encouraged" to do so.

If the department chooses to bring back cursive curriculum it would have to make the lessons available to schools by the start of the 2024-25 school year.
