This bill would require every Kentucky public school district to teach students about healthy relationships, setting minimum standards for what that instruction must cover and what materials can be used. Parents and guardians would have the right to review the curriculum, opt their child out of the instruction, and even take a school to court if the requirements are not followed. The Kentucky Board of Education would oversee the program and collect reports from districts every two years. Who it may affect: public school students, parents and guardians, school districts, and teachers responsible for delivering the instruction.
