Relating to healthy relationships education in public schools.

HB 1272 requires Texas public school districts to provide age-appropriate healthy relationships education in specified grade levels and courses. The bill mandates that curricula must be research-based, peer-reviewed, and focus on developing relationship skills, communication, and decision-making abilities for students. Parents may opt their children out of the program with a written request, and districts must provide annual notice to parents detailing the curriculum content and their rights to review materials or file complaints. School districts must also make all curriculum materials available for public inspection. This bill directly affects public school students and families across Texas.
