HB 2514 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

notices; directory information; disclosure; consent

HB 2514 requires Arizona school districts to create and annually distribute a parental involvement policy detailing how parents can access information about their children's education and make choices regarding certain school activities. The policy must include procedures for parents to review learning materials, access lists of library books borrowed by their children, withdraw students from content deemed harmful (including materials questioning beliefs about sex, morality, or religion), and provide written consent for sex education. It also mandates schools to notify parents in advance and allow them to opt children into sexuality-related instruction outside formal sex education courses. The bill ensures parents are informed of specific rights - such as opting out of sex education, immunizations, or certain assignments - and requires school districts to respond to information requests within 10 days.
