Texas HB976 prohibits instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity for students in prekindergarten through eighth grade and restricts such.

Texas HB976 amends the Education Code to prohibit school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and their employees from providing instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity to students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. For older students, such instruction is only allowed if it is age-appropriate and developmentally appropriate. The bill also mandates that school districts adopt procedures to notify parents about changes in services related to their child's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being.
