Senate Bill 371 mandates that school boards in Wisconsin include specific content related to pregnancy, prenatal development, and childbirth in their human growth and development instructional programs for students from kindergarten to grade 12. The bill requires the inclusion of a high-definition ultrasound video demonstrating early fetal development, a computer-generated animation illustrating the fertilization process and fetal growth stages, and a presentation on the physical and emotional health of the mother during each trimester of pregnancy.

Additionally, the bill amends existing requirements for instruction in parental responsibility by emphasizing the importance of secure interpersonal relationships for infant mental health and the value of reading to young children for their mental development. These changes aim to enhance the educational content provided to students regarding human development and parental responsibilities.
