Policy 2510, Instructional Materials, School Library/Media Center, and Other Educational Materials, is proposed for amendment in response to HB-1069 (2023), requiring additional changes to Florida Statutes, Section 1006.28 with regard to objections to instructional materials. The proposed amendments clarify that classroom libraries are included in the Board’s responsibilities related to instructional materials; specifies that objections to the content of instructional materials may include the depiction of sexual conduct, as defined in F.S. 847.007(19), unless such material is for a course required by F.S.

Any meetings of committees convened for the purpose of resolving an objection by a parent or resident to specific materials must be noticed and open to the public in accordance with s. 286.011 and must include parents of students who will have access to such materials. If a parent disagrees with the determination made by the district school board on the objection to the use of a specific material, a parent may request the Commissioner of Education to appoint a special magistrate who is a member of The Florida Bar in good standing and who has at least five (5) years of experience in administrative law. The special magistrate shall determine facts relating to the school district’s determination, consider information provided by the parent and the school district, and render a recommended decision for resolution to the State Board of Education within 30 days after receipt of the request by the parent. The State Board of Education must approve or reject the recommended decision at its next regularly scheduled meeting that is more than seven (7) calendar days and no more than 30 days after the date the recommended decision is transmitted. The costs of the special magistrate shall be borne by the school district. The State Board of Education shall adopt rules, including forms, necessary to implement these provisions. The proposed amendments contain the bill’s requirement that each district school board shall adopt and publish on its website the process for a parent to limit his or her student’s access to materials in the school or classroom library. The proposed amendments also include the bill’s new requirement that all materials used to teach reproductive health or any disease, including HIV/AIDS, its symptoms, development, and treatment, must be approved by the Florida Department of Education. This change is also proposed for Policy 2417, Reproductive Health and Disease Education. Additionally, HB 1069 amended F.S. Section 1001.42(8)(c) to specify that classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in prekindergarten through grade 8, except when required by ss. 1003.42(2)(n)3. and 1003.46. Policy 2215, Program of Instruction, is proposed for amendment to incorporate this change.
