SB 206 Family life education.
Introduced by: Jane H. Woods | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Family life education. Revises the criteria for the Standards for Accreditation which are set forth in Standard 3 of the Standards of Quality and the statute setting out the requirements for the family life education program. The bill requires local school divisions to develop and implement family life education programs which include instruction, as appropriate for the age of the student, in family living and community relationships; the value of postponing sexual activity; human sexuality; human reproduction; and the etiology, prevention, and effects of sexually transmitted diseases. The programs are designed to promote parental involvement, foster positive self-concepts, and provide mechanisms for coping with peer pressure and the stresses of modern living, according to the students' developmental stages and abilities. All such programs are required to present sexual abstinence before marriage and fidelity within monogamous marriage as moral obligations and not matters of personal opinion or personal choice. This bill is identical to HB 478.
