AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require schools in Massachusetts to adopt a written policy that ensures parental or legal guardian notification of the comprehensive sexual health education curriculum and the right to withdraw a student from all or part of the instruction. It also requires schools that offer comprehensive sexual health education to provide medically accurate, age-appropriate information on topics such as human development, anatomy, reproduction, and healthy relationships. The bill directs the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to update the state's health curriculum framework to align with these new requirements, which will take effect for the 2020-2021 school year.
