12	12	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
13	13	Current law allows, but does not require, a school board to provide a human
14	14	growth and development instructional program in grades kindergarten to 12. Under
15	15	current law, if a school board elects to provide a human growth and development
16	16	instructional program, the school board must appoint an ad hoc advisory committee
17	17	to advise the school board on the design and implementation of the human growth
18	18	and development curriculum, as well as to review the curriculum.
19	19	Current law requires that the advisory committee be comprised of parents,
20	20	teachers, school administrators, pupils, health care professionals, members of the
21	21	clergy, and other school district residents. This bill eliminates school administrators
22	22	as a membership category that must be represented on the committee. Additionally,
23	23	current law limits the portion of the committee that may consist of any membership
24	24	category, except parents, to one-fifth of the committee and limits the portion of the
25	25	committee that may consist of school district employees or their spouses or school
26	26	board members or their spouses to one-fourth of the committee.
27	27	The bill specifies that each member of a human growth and development
28	28	curriculum advisory committee must be a resident of the school district, unless the
29	29	school board is unable to fill a membership position with a school district resident,
30	30	in which case the school board may appoint a nonresident to the advisory committee.
