Consent-focused sex-ed lessons to go to public hearing, advisory board sets term limits
Summary
The committee heard that an Affirmative Consent lesson for 7th–8th graders and a "Let's Talk About Consent" lesson for roughly 6th graders will go to public hearing and are intended for Board approval later in the year; the advisory board set professional-member terms at two years and parent-member terms at three years.
Randy Barton, a committee member, reported that the Sex Education advisory board (meeting Feb. 9, 2026) finalized term limits for advisory members—professional members will serve two-year terms and parents three-year terms—and described two consent-focused lessons under review. Barton said an "Affirmative Consent" lesson for older students (7th–8th) and a "Let's Talk About Consent" lesson for younger students (approximately 6th grade) "will go to public hearing, heading for Board approval later in the year."
The committee recorded that the next advisory-board meeting is scheduled for April 13, 2026. No vote or final curriculum adoption was recorded at this meeting; the minutes indicate the lessons will proceed to the public-hearing phase before the full Board considers approval.
