Glen Rock board amends policy P2422 to add high-school instruction on explicit images/sexting
Summary
The board voted to amend policy P2422 so instruction about explicit images transmitted electronically (often framed as 'sexting') will be taught in high school in addition to middle school; the amendment passed on a roll-call vote.
The Glen Rock Public School District board voted to amend policy P2422 to extend instruction about explicit images transmitted electronically—often described in discussions as "sexting"—so it is taught in high school in addition to the current middle-school lesson.
A board member proposed the amendment, noting that a single middle-school lesson may be insufficient and advocating for coverage in high school as well. An administrator said he would review ninth- and 11th-grade health curricula to identify where additional instruction could fit. The board then voted on the amendment first and, after the amendment passed on roll call, the motion as amended was accepted.
Board members asked administration to confirm content and to fit the instruction into existing health courses where appropriate. The vote was recorded and the amendment to P2422 passed; the board directed staff to follow up with details on where and how the instruction would be incorporated.
