What’s in it

This bill relates to health examinations, surveys, and screenings conducted by school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools. Current law prohibits school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from conducting an invasive physical examination of a student, a student health screening that is not required by state or federal law, or a formal examination or survey of a student that is designed to assess the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health that is not required by state or federal law, without first acquiring the written consent of the student’s parent or guardian.
