Requires LGBT awareness curriculum or instruction

This bill requires public school districts in New York to develop age-appropriate curriculum about the historical treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and gender non-conforming individuals. Schools must incorporate this content into social studies or other suitable courses, with flexibility for district-specific needs and grade-level adjustments. The curriculum must be developed by the education commissioner in consultation with relevant agencies, focusing on historical context rather than current events. The requirement takes effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
