State Board Leaves Sex Study To Local Control
The State Board of Education adopted a compromise to let local districts decide on sex education with advisory guidelines. The plan bans instruction before seventh grade, forbids SIECUS materials, requires parental written permission, limits teaching to married teachers until trained staff are available, and confines classes to non school hours and sex segregated settings. Opponents held the majority at the hearing and Deborah Shepherd dissented in her final meeting.
