Public K-12 education, instruction on success sequence required, State Board of Education to develop model curriculum and adopt rules

SB 289 requires public K-12 schools to provide instruction on a "success sequence" to all students, starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The State Board of Education will develop a model curriculum that highlights the benefits of completing high school, obtaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children. Local school boards are responsible for implementing this age-appropriate instruction at least twice before students graduate. The bill also tasks the State Board with creating a process for recruiting, selecting, and training instructors for this program.
