AK SB96

School districts must adopt policies requiring parental notification at least two weeks before activities involving gender identity, human reproduction, or sexual matters, with written parental permission required for student participation.

Parents have the right to withdraw children from state-required assessments, activities, classes, or programs, and such absences are not considered unlawful.

School districts must obtain written parental permission before changing a student's name or pronoun in school identification or records.

Parents may file civil lawsuits against school districts for policy violations, with penalties of at least $5,000 and potential treble damages for knowing or reckless violations.

School districts must provide parents access to children's physical, medical, and mental health records unless disclosure would reasonably result in child abuse or neglect; sex education classes are prohibited for students below grade four.
