AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require Pennsylvania school districts to incorporate an age-appropriate curriculum on Internet safety into their curriculum for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The curriculum must cover topics such as safe and responsible use of social media, recognizing and avoiding online solicitation and harassment, protecting personal information, and understanding copyright laws. The Department of Education, in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General, will establish the curriculum and make related resource materials available online. Parents or legal guardians may request to have their children excused from all or part of the Internet safety instruction.
