SB193DeadEducation
establish provisions related to the review and selection of instructional materials in school districts.
School districts must adopt policies by January 1, 2024 that set up a process for reviewing instructional materials (textbooks and other learning resources) before schools purchase or use them, including materials received through grants. These policies must allow parents to provide input on what materials are selected for school classrooms and libraries. The bill defines "harmful to minors" material as content involving nudity or sexual material that appeals to prurient interests, is offensive by community standards, and lacks serious educational or artistic value.
