Education: curriculum; age-appropriate, medically accurate, and objective sex education; provide for. Amends secs. 1169, 1507 & 1507b of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1169 et seq.) & repeals sec. 1506 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1506).
This bill updates Michigan's school code to require that sex education in public schools be medically accurate, age-appropriate, and objective. It mandates that teachers instructing on these topics receive specific training and that school boards approve curricula through a process involving public hearings. The legislation also requires school districts to establish advisory boards with significant parent representation to oversee sex education programs. Additionally, it clarifies that such classes must be elective, allow parents to review course materials in advance, and provide an option for students to be excused without penalty.
