Physical and sexual abuse education requirement

This bill requires Minnesota public schools to include age-appropriate physical and sexual abuse prevention education in health curricula for all students. It mandates that school districts develop instruction covering identifying abuse, boundary violations, disclosure strategies, and bystander intervention, using culturally inclusive and developmentally appropriate methods. School staff must receive training on handling disclosures and districts must create response policies. The requirement takes effect for the 2026-2027 school year and applies to all public K-12 schools in Minnesota.
