An act relating to pupil data.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 598, as introduced, Wicks. School climate and safety: California Healthy Kids Survey.

Existing law authorizes anonymous, voluntary, and confidential research and evaluation tools to measure pupils’ health behaviors and risks, including tests, questionnaires, and surveys containing age-appropriate questions about the pupil’s attitudes concerning or practices relating to sex, to be administered to any pupil in grades 7 to 12, inclusive. The California Healthy Kids Survey is an anonymous, confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency.

This bill would declare the Legislature's intent to enact subsequent legislation that would require school districts to participate in the California Healthy Kids Survey, an anonymous, confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency, and include a module on sexual and reproductive health care as a core survey module.
