Relating to local school health advisory councils and instruction regarding human sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity provided by public schools.

HB 3548 clarifies that open-enrollment charter schools must comply with existing education code requirements regarding health instruction on human sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. It amends Section 12.104(b) of the Education Code to explicitly include charter schools under the same regulatory framework as traditional public schools for these topics. The bill ensures charter schools follow established rules for curriculum content, monitoring, and reporting related to this instruction. It does not change the content of required instruction but specifies that charter schools must adhere to the same standards as other public schools. The bill is currently in the Public Education committee for review.
