AL SB289

Requires all Alabama K-12 students to receive instruction on the "success sequence" (completing high school, obtaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children) at least twice before graduation, beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.

Mandates the State Board of Education develop standards and a model curriculum describing positive personal and societal outcomes associated with the success sequence, incorporating evidence from three specific academic studies on family stability and economic self-sufficiency.

Allows curriculum to be presented through assemblies or incorporated into existing coursework in an age-appropriate manner, with local school boards determining the specific presentation method.

Requires the State Board of Education to develop processes for recruiting, selecting, and training instructors to administer the curriculum and to adopt rules implementing the program.

Becomes effective October 1, 2025.
