Board warned of required human sexuality plan while curriculum adoptions proceed
Summary
Superintendent said math, science and health curriculum adoptions are scheduled for the year and flagged a required comprehensive human sexuality plan (Division 22) that will need community input and staged updates to the board.
Superintendent/Presenter (S3) told the board that curriculum adoption work for science, math and health is on the calendar for the year and that the district must also draft a comprehensive human sexuality plan that complies with Division 22 requirements. The presenter said the human sexuality plan is a larger undertaking that will involve community engagement and staged work tied to instructional-material adoption.
Board members asked how much of the plan and adoption process should be brought to the board for review and public input. Presenter (S3) recommended presenting process updates and synthesis of community feedback rather than the full technical documents at every meeting to keep board time efficient while ensuring transparency. Members asked staff to schedule community engagement events and to provide concise progress updates to the board as the plan develops.
Next steps: staff will outline a community engagement schedule for the human sexuality plan and provide a timeline for the curriculum adoption steps that identifies when board review and public comment opportunities will occur.
