Lawrence Schools adopt national sex ed standards districtwide
The Lawrence school district will implement national sexuality education standards this school year across the district. Assistant director Sarah Oatsvall says the standards are more comprehensive than state guidelines and aim to foster healthy self image and decision making. The board chose the national standards last year and added more on birth control and sexual orientation with an opt-out option for some families. Vanessa Sanborn, vice president of the school board, notes the standards frame sexual development as normal and healthy.
