SF 2066 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to human growth and development course enrollment at school districts and to pupil attendance at educational conferences or seminars in which human growth and development information is provided.

SF 2066 requires Iowa school districts to obtain written parental consent before enrolling students in human growth and development courses or arranging attendance at related educational conferences or seminars. It mandates that school boards annually provide parents with specific information about such courses and conferences, including how to request their child's exemption. The bill prohibits school districts from requiring student participation without this written consent, which must be submitted to the principal. This policy directly affects parents/guardians, school districts, and students in Iowa public schools, with implementation funded through existing state school foundation aid.
