Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Instruction
California Education Codes 51930-51939 and SBCUSD Board Policy and
Administrative Regulation 6142.1 provide guidelines for the delivery of
Sexual Health and HIV/AIDS Prevention Instruction. The Board of
Education recognizes that accurate information about family life and
human sexuality may contribute to a decreased risk of sexually
transmitted diseases or unintended pregnancies. Additionally, HIV/AIDS
pose a public health risk and education is a necessary component to slow
the spread of disease.
The purpose of HIV Prevention Education is to establish and strengthen
school programs by providing students, staff, and parents with the most
current information and facts. The abstinence-based curriculum and
videos used are age appropriate, medically accurate, and teach students
decision-making and refusal skills that are essential for healthy
growth and development. Furthermore, making healthy choices and
avoiding risk behaviors will help students become productive citizens in
the community.
Parents will be notified and given an opportunity to preview written and
audio-visual materials used to provide instruction at elementary,
middle and high school levels. Parents may request in writing if they
wish to have their child excluded.
