Board approves sex education materials; one member voices concern about AP Psychology standards
Summary
On a second and final reading the board approved sex education materials; Board Member Kim Chandler voted no and urged review of AP Psychology standards that she said may conflict with state law and executive orders.
The Granite School District Board approved the district's sex education materials on a second and final reading during its April 1 meeting. The motion to adopt the materials was moved by Julie Jackson and seconded by Kris Nguyen, and the motion passed with six votes in favor and one opposed.
Board member Kim Chandler explained her opposition by raising concerns specifically about AP Psychology curriculum standards. Chandler encouraged the board to consider whether Granite should continue offering the AP Psychology course if its standards conflict with state law and executive orders; the minutes record her urging further evaluation but show the materials approved despite her dissent.
The minutes do not specify proposed edits to the sex education packet or any follow-up dates for curriculum review; the vote was recorded as Yea: 6, Nay: 1 (Kim Chandler).
