HIV/AIDS CURRICULUM REVIEW PARENT MEETING
In 1988 the Washington State Legislature passed the AIDS Omnibus Act. This act mandates HIV/AIDS education beginning in Grade 5 and continuing through Grade 12. School districts must adhere to the following criteria when developing an HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum:
• Beginning no later than Grade 5, students must receive yearly instruction in the life-threatening dangers of HIV/AIDS, its transmission, and its prevention;
• Education will emphasize the importance of sexual abstinence, sexual fidelity, and avoidance of substance abuse in controlling disease;
• The materials used must be approved for medical accuracy by the Department of Health Office on HIV/AIDS;
• At least one month before teaching the curriculum, parents are to be notified of the presentation and have the opportunity to view the materials;
• A student may be removed from HIV/AIDS prevention education if the student’s parent or guardian, having attended one of the district presentations, objects in writing to such participation.
A Clarkston School District parent presentation will be held on February 23, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held virtually using Zoom.
