Public K-12 schools, sex education curriculum further provided for, sexual risk avoidance established as sex ed curriculum, policies of local boards of education related to sex ed further provided for, parent or guardian notice of sex ed curriculum required, Attorney General authorized to enforce

SB 277 revises the sex education curriculum in Alabama's public K-12 schools, directly affecting students, parents, and local boards of education. It mandates that all sex education programs exclusively teach "sexual risk avoidance" and encourage abstinence from all sexual activity. The bill prohibits providing referrals for abortion, misrepresenting contraceptive efficacy, or demonstrating contraceptive use. It also requires parental notification and an opt-out option for students, and authorizes the Attorney General to enforce these requirements.
