Gender identity public school classroom instruction prohibition

Minnesota's SF 3812 prohibits classroom instruction about gender identity for students in kindergarten through grade 8 in public schools. It requires schools to obtain parental written permission before administering student well-being questionnaires or health screenings to K-8 students and mandates parental notification if a student's health or well-being services change. The bill also establishes procedures for parents to address concerns with school officials within specific timeframes and requires schools to support parental involvement in decisions about student health. The provisions take effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
