The New Palestine Community School Board approved human sexuality curricular materials for the high school health class on Aug. 11, following a presentation that referenced recently enacted legislation, SEA 442. The board voted 5-0 to approve the materials "as presented."

The item was introduced with the statement that "In accordance with newly enacted legislation (SEA 442), all schools must present their curricular materials concerning human sexuality to their local school boards." The packet included an attachment titled "High School Health Human Sexuality Curricular Materials - Board Attachment.pdf." Mrs. Laura Haeberle, Board President, asked for a motion; Mr. Jon Hooker motioned to approve the materials, Mrs. Amanda Wooton seconded, and the motion passed 5-0.

The board minutes record no additional discussion of content, age-appropriateness, or parental opt-out procedures. The record also does not state whether the board made a formal finding of compliance with SEA 442 at the meeting; it records only that the materials were presented and that approval was requested and granted.
