Bill Summary
Amend KRS 158.192 to require a local board of education to allow parents and guardians an opportunity to orally recite passages from materials, programs, or events that are subject to appeal; require immediate removal of the material, program, or event if the board denies a parent or guardian the opportunity to orally recite passages.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to require local school boards in Kentucky to allow parents and guardians the opportunity to orally recite passages from materials, programs, or events that are being appealed as potentially harmful to minors during a public board meeting. If a school board denies a parent or guardian this opportunity to speak or deems the recited passage inappropriate, the bill mandates that the material, program, or event in question must be immediately declared harmful to minors and removed. This change is part of a broader complaint resolution policy for schools to address concerns raised by parents and guardians about content deemed unsuitable for students.
