2414 - FAMILY LIFE/SEX EDUCATION
The Board of Education believes that the purpose of family life and sex education is to help students acquire factual knowledge, attitudes, and values which result in behavior that contributes to the well-being of the individual, the family, and society.
Helping students attain a mature and responsible attitude toward human sexuality is a continuous task of every generation. Parents have the primary responsibility to assist their children in developing moral values. The schools should support and supplement parental efforts in these areas by offering students factual information and opportunities to discuss concerns, issues, and attitudes.
In addition to the requirements listed below, the customary policies and regulations concerning the approval of new curriculum content, units, and materials will apply to any course(s) dealing with family life and sex education offered by the District:
| A. | Instructional materials to be used in family life/sex education will be available for review by the parent or guardian during school hours. | |
| B. | If, after review of materials used and a conference with the instructor and principal, a parent requests that his/her child not participate in a given aspect of the course, an alternate educational assignment shall, with the approval of the principal, be arranged for the student. | |
| C. | Teachers who provide age-appropriate instruction in family life/sex education will have professional preparation in the subject area. | |
| D. | Instruction in sex education will emphasize the health and related benefits of abstinence. |
