AI Summary

This bill seeks to enhance parental consent requirements for public elementary and secondary school students in Massachusetts. It prohibits schools from referring students or providing them with information about individuals, organizations, or materials that involve certain sensitive topics, such as health, reproduction, sexuality, or mental health, without the prior written consent of the student's parent or guardian. Additionally, the bill requires parental consent before students can be asked to participate in surveys or evaluations on personal issues, including mental health, sexual behavior, and political affiliations. The bill aims to give parents more control over the information and activities their children are exposed to in the school setting.
