Fourth Grade Sex Education Curriculum
The fourth grade sex education curriculum consists of a separate video for boys and girls. These videos were published in 1976 and so it was decided that new videos need to be approved. The new videos are more appropriately classified as puberty videos and explain the changes that children go through as they grow and develop. We have purposely tried to avoid anything that is controversial. A group of parents have watched the new videos and given their approval to them. We need to hold 2 community meetings to inform the community of these changes. The videos will then be presented to the board for final approval.
The following are the principles that we follow as we present this information to fourth graders:
- School personnel do not discuss with the students any information that is not included in the movies.
- Students are encouraged to discuss with their parents all of the topics covered and strongly discouraged from discussing it with peers.
