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

SB 983 amends Texas Education Code Section 12.104(b) to require open-enrollment charter schools to comply with specific educational requirements related to instruction about human sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity. The bill adds this topic to a list of mandated compliance areas for charter schools, alongside requirements for curriculum, safety, and student services. It directly affects public charter schools by imposing new guidelines on how they must structure and provide this specific health-related instruction. The policy change focuses on standardizing educational content for these schools without altering existing state curriculum frameworks.
