Bill > HB105

This bill amends Alaska's education laws to expand parental rights and oversight in their child's education. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring schools to obtain written parental permission before students can participate in any activities or classes involving sexual matters, and providing parents the right to withdraw their child from such content. 2) Defining "sexual matters" to include topics like human reproduction, sexuality, gender identity, and sex trafficking/abuse awareness. 3) Prohibiting students in grades K-3 from attending any classes or programs involving sexual matters. 4) Requiring schools to provide parents access to their child's full school record, with any redactions explained. 5) Enhancing school disciplinary procedures to address student privacy and safety, including in locker rooms and restrooms. 6) Imposing civil penalties on school districts that violate the new parental rights policies. The bill aims to increase parental involvement and control over their child's education, particularly regarding sensitive topics related to sex, sexuality, and gender identity.
