Bill > SB385

This bill, known as Erin's Law, mandates that by the 2026-2027 school year, all Kansas school districts must implement annual training for teachers and age-appropriate instruction for students in kindergarten through 12th grade regarding child sexual abuse and sexual assault awareness and prevention. Teacher training will cover how to prevent, identify signs of, and report child sexual abuse and assault, along with information on available resources. Student instruction will focus on age-appropriate prevention and reporting methods, with provisions for parents or guardians to opt their children out, and will also include information on resources and support. The training and instruction can be developed or provided by entities like child advocacy centers, the no-cost Erin's Law foundation curriculum, or other resources approved by the school district.
