AI Summary
This bill requires local school boards to develop a policy for responding to parental complaints about obscene material in schools. The bill amends existing laws to clarify that the preliminary hearing process for determining whether material is obscene applies to institutions in the university or community college system, not just schools. It also establishes a new complaint resolution process for parents to follow if they believe obscene or questionable material is available to their children in the local school system. The process includes steps for the school principal to investigate the complaint, make a determination on whether the material is harmful to minors, and remove or restrict student access to it. Parents can appeal the school's decision to the local school board and, if necessary, the state board of education.
