H 582 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to school committee oversight

This bill requires Massachusetts school committees to publicly post specific course information on district websites, including textbook titles, syllabi, and aligned state standards. It mandates that districts update this information within 30 days of any changes to courses. School committees may also offer sexually transmitted infection (STI) education courses for students and community adults, with requirements for parental notification and the option to excuse minors. The bill directly affects all public school districts and their committees by standardizing transparency about curriculum content.
