The election this year of two more social conservatives carried the expectation of a renewed effort to dilute it and other sex ed programs.
, the advisory committee that must approve any restart of those programs met for the first time Wednesday.
But if that happens, the School Health Advisory Council, or SHAC, has first crack at it, required by state law to review and recommend a new sex ed curriculum to the board. Now consisting of 32 parents and community members appointed to represent the board’s seven single member districts, plus eight district employees, the panel must meet at least twice more before it can vote to recommend a sex education curriculum to the board.
“We are going to lead with abstinence first,” Kaman said after the meeting. “We know that’s the best avenue. But kids are going to be kids and there are temptations so they need to be educated on how to say no and the ramifications of being involved with sexual activity.” A former member, Tina Castellanos, who spoke at a board meeting this fall about her concerns about trustees’ assertion of more direct control over the SHAC, said religious conservatives in the school district had been interrupting SHAC proceedings in recent years, to the point that it closed its subcommittee meetings to the public so its members could get their work done.
