Education (Curriculum)

SB 275 requires Kansas public school districts to include a specific fetal development presentation in any course covering human growth, development, or sexuality. The presentation must be a 3-minute computer animation or ultrasound showing early brain, heart, and organ development. This mandate applies directly to all K-12 school districts offering these courses, requiring them to add this content to their curriculum. The bill does not alter existing course content but adds this specific requirement for all affected classes.

SB 101 creates a new statewide "D.A.R.E. Educator" position within the Kansas Attorney General's office. This role directly affects public elementary and secondary schools across Kansas by requiring the educator to provide drug abuse prevention instruction using an attorney general-approved curriculum, specifically including content on fentanyl and opioids. The bill mandates the educator to report annually to the legislature about curriculum changes and list all public schools participating in the program. The position is funded through available appropriations and becomes effective upon publication in the statute book.

HB 2382 requires Kansas public school districts to include a mandatory 3-minute visual presentation of early fetal development - showing brain, heart, and vital organ growth - in any course covering human growth, development, or sexuality. This applies to all schools offering such courses, directly affecting students and curriculum design. The presentation must be a high-quality animation or ultrasound, selected by the school district. The bill does not alter funding, teacher training, or course content beyond this specific visual requirement.
