What’s in it
This bill prohibits a school district from enrolling a pupil in a course of instruction in human growth and development, and from facilitating a 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.
