What’s in it
AI summary Schools must give parents a list of all topics covered in human growth and development classes along with enrollment and acknowledgment forms. A student cannot join these classes unless a parent signs and returns these forms to the principal. This changes the current rule, which only requires a parent to sign a request if they want their child to be excused from the lessons.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that information regarding the human growth and development curriculum that must be provided annually to the parent or guardian of a pupil enrolled in the school district must include all of the topics the curriculum covers, a course enrollment form, and a form which the parent or guardian must sign and return that provides written verification that the parent or guardian acknowledges receipt of the information provided. Under the bill, a school shall not enroll a pupil in a course of instruction in human growth and development unless the parent or guardian signs and files such forms with the appropriate principal. Currently, a pupil shall not be required to take instruction in human growth and development if the pupil’s parent or guardian files with the appropriate principal a written request that the pupil be excused from the instruction.
