What’s in it

AI summary School districts would be stopped from enrolling students in human growth and development classes or seminars unless a parent or guardian gives written permission first. Schools must also send parents yearly information about the topics covered in these classes or conferences. This rule applies to all school districts and requires them to follow these new requirements.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to the human growth and development curriculum provided by school districts, including enrollment of students in grades through in human growth and development courses and information provided to parents and guardians. The bill prohibits a school district from enrolling a pupil who is in grades through in a course of instruction in human growth and development, and from facilitating such pupil’s attendance at an educational conference or seminar that includes information on human growth and development, unless the pupil’s parent or guardian files written informed consent with the appropriate principal. The bill also requires the board of directors of a school district to annually provide to a parent or guardian of a pupil enrolled in the district information about human growth and development that may be provided to pupils at an educational conference or seminar for which the school district facilitates pupil attendance.3.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a school district from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, school districts are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill.
