    Bill Summary

    This bill revises present law provisions regarding curriculum for family life education for elementary and secondary education, as discussed below.

    Under present law, if the most recent, annual data maintained by the department of health, state center for health statistics, indicates that pregnancy rates in a county exceeded 19.5 pregnancies per 1,000 females 15 through 17 years of age, then every LEA within the county must locally devise, adopt, and implement a program of family life education in conformance with the curriculum guidelines established for such programs by present law. Under present law:

    (1) Each LEA that offers a program, course or instruction in sex education must adopt and locally develop a family life curriculum in compliance with the statutory requirements of present law or adopt the family life curriculum adopted by the state board of education;

    (2) Each LEA must prescribe policies and procedures for the implementation, evaluation, and periodic review of the family life curriculum; and

    (3) Failure of an LEA to comply with the above subjects the LEA to withholding of state funds by the commissioner.

    This bill rewrites the above provisions to instead require every LEA in the state to, in conformance with the statutory guidelines for such programs:

    (A) Locally devise, adopt, and implement a program of family life education, beginning with the 2021-2022 school year; and

    (B) Locally develop and adopt a family life curriculum or adopt such curriculum adopted by the state board of education.

    Present law requires the state board of education to adopt a complete family life curriculum suitable for implementation by an LEA that fails to develop, adopt, and implement a local curriculum of family life as described above in (1). This bill specifies that the state board's curriculum must be in conformance with the statutory guidelines for such programs. Also, this bill specifies that a curriculum on sex education or human sexuality that is developed, adopted, or implemented by an LEA as part of a human growth and development program or curriculum must be in conformance with the statutory guidelines.
