Gender identity public school classroom instruction prohibition and firearm safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling in school physical education course and appropriation
Minnesota Senate File 3811 prohibits public school classroom instruction about gender identity for students in kindergarten through grade 8, effective for the 2026-2027 school year. It requires schools to notify parents about changes to a student's health or well-being services, obtain parental permission for health screenings in early grades, and adopt procedures ensuring parental involvement in health-related decisions. The bill also establishes a grant program to fund firearms safety, archery, hunting, and angling instruction in school physical education courses, with appropriated funding. These provisions apply to all public schools in Minnesota and aim to align classroom content and parental notification practices with specific legislative requirements.
