Introduced
by
To reinforce the pro-abstinence messages required in public school sex education classes, and require that the majority of members on a school district's sex education advisory board must be parents not employed by the district who have a child in a district school. Under current law, districts that offer sex-education classes must have an advisory board, but in many cases they are composed predominantly of school employees and non-parents. The bill also transfers some responsibilities related to sex education classes from the state Board of Education to the state Superintendent of Schools. See also House Bill 5478. Senate Bills 943 and 944 are the same bills.
