Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in terms and courses of study, providing for parental notification relating to instructional materials and books containing sexually explicit content.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school entities (such as school districts and charter schools) to develop and make public policies that provide parental notification of instructional materials and books containing sexually explicit content. The policies must identify specific materials and books, ensure parental notification before student exposure, and allow parents to review and opt-out of such content. The bill also clarifies that it does not prohibit additional transparency measures or prevent a school entity from determining that sexually explicit content is inappropriate for certain students, as long as it does not violate other applicable laws.
