Relative to healthy youth (being the text of Senate document number 2113, printed as amended)

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require that schools implementing or maintaining a curriculum involving human sexual education or sexuality issues adopt a written policy to ensure parental or legal guardian notification of the curriculum, the right to withdraw a student from all or part of the instruction, and a process for parents and guardians to inspect the instructional materials. The bill also requires schools providing comprehensive sexual health education to ensure that the curriculum is medically accurate, age-appropriate, and inclusive of topics such as human development, anatomy, abstinence, contraception, healthy relationships, and gender identity and sexual orientation. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is directed to update the health curriculum framework to be consistent with these provisions prior to the 2018-2019 school year.
