An Act relative to healthy youth
This bill (HD 947) requires all Massachusetts public schools - including cities, towns, regional districts, vocational schools, and charters - to file biennial reports on sexual health education. The reports must detail curriculum names, hours taught, student enrollment, and withdrawals, and be submitted to the education board. It also mandates that schools adopt written parental notification policies explaining the curriculum, withdrawal rights, and material inspection options, while ensuring students withdrawn face no penalties and have access to alternative activities. The curriculum must be medically accurate, age-appropriate, and inclusive of topics like consent, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ resources, aligning with state health education standards.
