Massachusetts H5283 mandates parental notification and exemption options for health education in schools.
Massachusetts H5283 requires schools to adopt a policy ensuring parental notification for health education or human sexuality issues. Parents or guardians can exempt their children from any part of the curriculum through written notification to the school principal. Exemptions do not result in penalties for the child. The bill also mandates that program instruction materials be reasonably accessible to parents, guardians, educators, and school administrators.
