AI Summary
This bill mandates that all schools in New York State, for students in grades six through twelve, must integrate instruction on the prevention of eating disorders into their existing health education programs, specifically as part of nutrition programs. This new requirement aims to foster healthy self-image and prepare students for healthy lives, with the instruction being tailored to the age and abilities of students at different grade levels. The bill also allows the commissioner to consult with comprehensive care centers for eating disorders, which are established under Article 30 of the Mental Hygiene Law, when developing this curriculum.
