Relates to culturally responsive lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender education standards

This bill requires New York state schools to implement culturally responsive education for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ+) students. It mandates all public and private K-12 schools to integrate LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum across all grade levels, including lessons on historical oppression and inequity. The bill also creates a graduation requirement for high school students to complete a course meeting these standards, adds a college course requirement for teacher certification, and requires ongoing teacher training on LGBTQ+ competency. Implementation will be guided by commissioner-developed rules, model curricula, and a school climate assessment tool.
