Texas SB87 requires parental written consent for student participation in human sexuality instruction in public schools.

Texas SB87 amends the Education Code to mandate that school districts obtain written parental consent before a student can participate in human sexuality instruction. The consent request must be separate from other notifications and provided at least 14 days before the instruction begins. This requirement applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year. If the bill receives a two-thirds majority vote in both houses, it takes effect immediately; otherwise, it becomes effective September 1, 2025.
