Relating to: required subjects in a human growth and development instructional program. (FE)
SB 887 requires public school human growth and development classes to include instruction on adoption, parental responsibility, and the socioeconomic benefits of marriage for adults and their children. This policy change directly affects school curricula in Wisconsin public schools, specifically the required human growth and development program. The bill amends existing statute to add these three specific topics to the mandated subjects, replacing previous requirements. The legislation focuses on adding these educational components to existing classroom instruction without altering funding or creating new programs. It was introduced in the 2026 legislature and referred to the Education Committee.
