Parental curriculum review provisions clarifications
SF 3157 clarifies Minnesota's existing parental curriculum review rights under Minnesota Statutes §120B.20. It requires school districts to establish procedures allowing parents, guardians, or adult students (18+) to review instructional materials (including online content) for minors or adult students, and to arrange alternative instruction if they object to content. The bill specifies schools aren't required to cover costs for parent-provided alternatives and prohibits penalizing students for seeking alternatives. This directly affects families seeking to review or modify curriculum content for their children or themselves as adult students.
