Parental Right to Review Education Materials, Receive Notifications, and Opt Out of Sexual-Health Education Initiative
Washington · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Re-enact Initiative to the Legislature 2081 (2024), related to parental rights to review educational materials, receive specific notifications, and opt their children out of sexual health education
A yes vote means
Parents gain the legal right to review sexual health education materials, receive notifications about these lessons, and opt their children out of them.
A no vote means
Parents don't get these specific rights to review, get notified about, and opt out of sexual health education classes.
Simple explanation
This measure would let parents see what sexual health materials schools are teaching their kids and decide whether their children participate in those lessons. It's like giving parents a preview of certain homework and saying 'your kid sits out this one if you want them to.'
