The Board of Education, in compliance with State law, has adopted a comprehensive program of health education for grades K through 12, which will prepare students to maintain good health and enable them to adapt to changing health problems of our society.

The Board recognizes that this program may contain content and/or activities that some parents find objectionable. The District shall notify the parents, in advance of the instruction, about the content of the instruction, give the parents an opportunity to review the materials to be used, and advise the parents of their right to have their child excused from the instruction. If after careful, personal review of the program lessons and materials, a parent finds that either content or activities conflict with his/her religious beliefs or value system, the school will honor a written request to the building principal for his/her child to be excused from particular lessons for specified reasons.

The Superintendent shall prepare administrative guidelines that will ensure:

In implementing these programs, the Superintendent may use whatever District and outside resources, including Department of Education and ISD guidelines and consultants, he/she deems appropriate.
