EDUCATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding parental rights in education.

This Idaho bill (H 292) strengthens parental rights in public schools by requiring schools to create policies that: (1) let parents review learning materials and withdraw children from content conflicting with their beliefs; (2) mandate school notification about student health changes; (3) prohibit classroom instruction on sexual orientation/gender identity in kindergarten through grade 3; and (4) require parental consent for certain health surveys. It directly affects Idaho public school districts, parents/guardians, and school staff. Key mechanisms include mandated parent access to educational/health records within 5 school days, written notification of health services, and complaint procedures for violations. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
