At the request of a school district, charter school, or board of cooperative services, the department shall provide technical assistance to the school district, charter school, or board of cooperative services in designing age-appropriate curricula pertaining to marijuana use.

(3) After the resource bank and curricula are available, school districts, charter schools, and boards of cooperative services are encouraged to report to the department on the effectiveness of the resource bank and curricula and to recommend changes to improve the resource bank or curricula.
