Healthcare in Public Schools
Legislators shall prohibit reproductive healthcare services, including counseling, referrals, medical procedures, prescription medications, and distribution of condoms and contraception through public schools. We support parents’ right to choose, without penalty, which medications are administered to their minor children. We support informed consent of parents before any school-based mental health assessments or interventions are performed for social, emotional, spiritual, mental, or medical health by district employees, community partners, or public service entities or agents. School District personnel shall not make referrals to medical and mental health professionals without disclosing to and obtaining the informed consent of parents. No school, public or private shall be allowed to withhold from a parent or legal guardian information regarding the physical or mental health of the minor, including information related to a minor’s perception that his or her gender or sex is inconsistent with his or her biological sex..
