No. Schools are not required to teach sex education. Education Code (EC) Section 51931(b) defines comprehensive sexual health education as: “Education regarding human development and sexuality, including education on pregnancy, family planning, and STDs.” If schools choose to teach comprehensive sexual health education, they shall follow specific laws regarding course content and parental notification, as described below.
