Bill > H482

This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to address school committee oversight of courses of study, including those concerning sexually transmitted infections. The key provisions are: (1) School committees must ensure that required courses are carried out, while also allowing them to establish supplemental courses or adopt alternative state courses with superintendent approval. (2) School districts must make course information, such as textbooks, syllabi, and academic standards, publicly available on their websites. (3) School committees may establish courses on sexually transmitted infections, which can be taught to both students and the community, while allowing parents or guardians to opt their minor children out of such courses and inspect the instructional materials.
