Requires DOE to develop model policies for ensuring parental notification of sexually explicit content in curriculum; requires board of education to provide parental notification of sexually explicit content in curriculum.

New Jersey bill A-230 requires the Department of Education to create model policies for schools to notify parents when instructional materials contain sexually explicit content (defined as depictions of sexual conduct, nudity, or specific acts). School boards must adopt policies based on these models, including: (1) notifying parents before student exposure, (2) clearly identifying specific materials and topics, and (3) allowing parents to review content or request alternative materials. The bill applies to all public elementary and secondary schools and explicitly states it does not permit book censorship. It takes effect for the first full school year after enactment.
