Are schools required to teach comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention?
Yes. The state legislation, originally known as AB 329, requires that students in grades seven through twelve receive comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education at least once in middle school and once in high school. However, school districts under the leadership of their locally elected boards and superintendents are tasked with selecting which curriculum and instructional resources (including textbooks and worksheets) they will use to teach this material to students.

Identify "Five (5)"
Click on the thumbnail below titled, "Positive Influences". The positive influences that you identify in your life should be positive, responsible, and mature adults in your life that you TRUST and look up to. These influential people can be your uncle, aunt, youth leader, coach, teacher, counselor...etc. It is important to identify these people in your lives so that you have additional people outside of our class to ask them questions about any of the topics that we discuss in our "Growth and Development" unit. Especially if your question in the question box isn't addressed immediately.
