AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Education, in cooperation with the Department of Health, to establish a unit of instruction for students in grades 11 and 12 to educate them about the importance of blood donation and encourage their participation in blood donation programs. The unit must include information on the physiology of blood, the need and usage of donated blood, and the personal and community benefits of blood donation. Students may be excused from the instruction on religious grounds, but cannot be penalized for the excuse. The State Board of Education is required to adopt rules and regulations for the implementation of this new section.
