Enacting the student safety and awareness act to require school districts to designate a month during the school year as student safety and awareness month and to provide educational programs for students on the dangers and effects of fentanyl use, personal safety and awareness and social media literacy, safety and responsibility during such designated month.
HB 2662 requires Kansas public school districts to designate one month annually as "Student Safety and Awareness Month" and implement age-appropriate educational programs for students. These programs must cover fentanyl/substance abuse risks, personal safety boundaries, social media literacy, and digital citizenship, with content tailored to grade levels (e.g., basic internet safety for K-5, bullying prevention for 6-8, dating safety for 9-12). Schools may integrate these topics into existing health or social studies classes and cannot require new staff or funding, though parents may opt their children out of specific sessions. The law mandates annual reporting to the state board, with a state model to be developed by July 2027.
