At its July meeting the Greenfield-Central School Board approved the materials the district will use to teach human sexuality in grades 5 through 12, the second reading required under state law.

The board voted to approve the curriculum materials as presented; a motion to approve passed unanimously with no recorded oppositions. The approval follows a presentation at the board's previous meeting and staff said they made no changes since that earlier review.

Why it matters: Senate Enrolled Act 442 sets requirements for how human sexuality instruction is selected and taught in Indiana public schools. District officials said they were presenting materials this evening to satisfy the second-reading requirement under that law.

Board process and context: At the meeting a presenter summarized the materials and asked for board approval. The presenter said, "While we've made no changes to that from what you saw last month, this being that second reading, we would ask that the board, approve, the materials to teach human sexuality in grades 5 through 12 as presented." The motion was made and seconded; board members voted "aye."

What the approval does and does not do: The board approved the specific materials presented; the meeting minutes show no amendments to the materials and no formal requests to return items for additional review. The board did not adopt districtwide instructional policy beyond approving the materials for the coming year.

Next steps: Staff will implement the approved materials during the upcoming school year. The approval satisfied the board's procedural requirement for a second reading under state statute.

Board action: Motion to approve materials for teaching human sexuality in grades 5-12 — moved, seconded and approved (unanimous recorded "aye").
