Every parent, guardian or other person in the Commonwealth having control or charge of any child who is required by § 22.1-254 A to send such child to a public school shall have the right to review the complete any family life curricula, whether such curricula are mandatory or optional, including all supplemental materials used in any family life education program.

Such information shall reflect the curricula of the program as taught in the classroom.
