This bill proposes significant changes to education policy in Minnesota, specifically regarding classroom instruction on gender identity and parental involvement in student health matters. It prohibits public school instruction related to sexual orientation or gender identity for students in kindergarten through grade 8, with the commissioner required to provide guidelines for enforcement. Additionally, the bill mandates that schools notify parents or guardians of any changes in their child's mental, emotional, or physical health services, reinforcing parental rights to be involved in their child's upbringing.

Furthermore, the bill outlines specific procedures for parental notification regarding health care services offered at schools, requiring prior written consent for administering health questionnaires to students in the specified grades. It also prohibits school boards from adopting policies that would prevent parental notification about a child's health or well-being. Parents are given the right to appeal unresolved concerns regarding these matters to the commissioner of education or to seek legal action against the school board. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect for the 2026-2027 school year and later.
