Senate Bill 968 amends the Education Code to require the State Board of Education, in adopting the essential knowledge and skills for the health enrichment curriculum, to adopt essential knowledge and skills that address the dangers, causes, consequences, signs, symptoms, and treatment of nonmedical use of prescription drugs. The bill requires the Texas Education Agency to compile a list of evidence-based prescription drug misuse awareness programs from which a school district is required to choose a program to use in the district's middle school, junior high school, and high school health curriculums.
