Requires DOE to develop model policies for ensuring parental notification of sexually explicit content in curriculum; requires board of education to provide parental notification of sexually explicit content in curriculum.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A708 requires the state Department of Education (DOE) to create model policies for public school boards to notify parents before students encounter explicit content in curriculum. It mandates school boards to provide specific parental notification about such content, identify the exact materials involved, and offer alternative non-explicit materials if parents request them. The bill defines "sexually explicit content" as depictions of sexual conduct, nudity, or similar material but explicitly states it does not require book censorship in public schools. These policies must be implemented starting the first full school year after the bill's enactment.
