House Concurrent Resolution No. 26 urges the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to integrate the science of human growth and development into the state content standards for science and health education. The resolution emphasizes the need for age- and grade-appropriate instruction on prenatal growth and development, including the development of vital organs, and calls for the provision of relevant educational materials on BESE's website. This initiative aims to enhance the current curriculum by including comprehensive information on human development from conception to birth.

Additionally, the resolution requests that BESE submit a written report to the House and Senate Committees on Education by March 1, 2027, detailing any actions taken regarding the incorporation of these standards and the availability of instructional resources. The resolution highlights the importance of educating students on human growth and development, aligning with existing science and health standards while addressing a gap in current educational content.
