Minnesota’s current sexual education standards are developed and delivered on a district-by-district basis.

As a result, students are receiving inconsistent and inadequate information about their reproductive health.

MN House Bill 358, sponsored by Representative Sydney Jordan, would require the Department of Education to develop a comprehensive sexual health education model and help school districts implement the programming. An identical, companion bill (Senate Bill 632) was introduced to the MN Senate by Senator Mary Kunesh. 

The proposal would require content to be age appropriate, with instruction beginning in elementary school and continuing through high school. It would need to be medically accurate and include topics related to:

  • sexual development, health and reproduction

  • bodily autonomy and healthy relationships, including relationships involving diverse sexual orientations and gender identities

  • abstinence and other methods for preventing unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections

  • sexual consent

​

House Bill 358 and Senate Bill 632 were introduced in February of 2021, but have not yet been passed.
