including domestic violence prevention as a wellness subject to be taught to pupils.

HB 1077 requires New Hampshire public schools to include domestic violence prevention education within the existing health, physical education, and wellness curriculum for all students. It amends state law to explicitly mandate that school boards teach this topic alongside other health subjects like substance abuse prevention and HIV education. The bill directly affects all K-12 pupils in New Hampshire public schools by adding this specific content to required classroom instruction. This policy change focuses on integrating prevention education into standard health curricula without altering other existing requirements.
