schools; sexual abuse prevention program

SB 1528 requires Arizona public schools to implement a statewide child sexual abuse prevention program by October 2026. The program mandates age-appropriate student materials for K-12 teaching skills like recognizing abuse, promoting disclosure, and reducing self-blame, alongside teacher training on prevention and response. Schools must also adopt uniform reporting procedures for incidents and provide victim support resources. Parents can exempt their children from participation with written notice, as specified in Section C of the bill.
