What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law allows, but does not require, a school board to provide a human growth and development instructional program in grades kindergarten to 12. Under current law, if a school board elects to provide a human growth and development instructional program, the school board must appoint an ad hoc advisory committee to advise the school board on the design and implementation of the human growth and development curriculum, as well as to review the curriculum.

Current law requires that the advisory committee be comprised of parents, teachers, school administrators, pupils, health care professionals, members of the clergy, and other school district residents. This bill eliminates school administrators as a membership category that must be represented on the committee. Additionally, current law limits the portion of the committee that may consist of any membership category, except parents, to one-fifth of the committee and limits the portion of the committee that may consist of school district employees or their spouses or school board members or their spouses to one-fourth of the committee.

Read the full summary

The bill specifies that each member of a human growth and development curriculum advisory committee must be a resident of the school district, unless the school board is unable to fill a membership position with a school district resident, in which case the school board may appoint a nonresident to the advisory committee.

In addition, under the bill, no member of the advisory committee may be a relative of another member of the committee. Finally, the bill requires a school board to remove a committee member who is absent from two consecutive meetings without prior written approval.
