SB 150

Issues

The bill would prohibit the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky Board of Education from recommending or requiring policies to keep minor students’ information confidential from their parents. A school district must notify parents of health and mental health services offered, or those their minor children seek out, through the school. Another provision of the bill would empower parental engagement and awareness of school courses, curriculum programs, or instruction related to human sexuality by requiring a school district to provide parents with two weeks’ prior notice and an opportunity to review materials before instruction begins. It would also require an alternate assignment to be made available to those students of parents who disapprove.
