AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require all public schools in Massachusetts that offer comprehensive sexual health education to adopt a written policy ensuring parental or legal guardian notification and the right to withdraw a student from all or part of the instruction. The bill also mandates that schools provide medically accurate, age-appropriate sexual health education covering topics such as human development, anatomy, abstinence, contraception, healthy relationships, and affirmative recognition of different sexual orientations and gender identities. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is directed to update the health curriculum framework to align with the provisions of this act, which will take effect in the 2018-2019 school year.
