- Requires each school district to establish procedures allowing parents, guardians, or adult students (18+) to review instructional material content and request reasonable alternative instruction if they object to the content
- Permits parents, guardians, or adult students to provide alternative instruction themselves if school-offered alternatives do not meet their concerns, with no requirement for school board payment
