AI Summary
This bill requires public schools in Washington to provide comprehensive sexual health education as an integral part of their curriculum by September 2020. The education must be evidence-informed, medically and scientifically accurate, age-appropriate, and inclusive for all students regardless of their protected class status. The curriculum must include information and skills-based instruction on abstinence and contraception methods, healthy relationships, identifying and responding to attitudes and behaviors that contribute to sexual violence, and the importance of affirmative consent. The bill also requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop a list of approved curricula and review tools, and for public schools to report on the curricula they use annually.
