Board adopts new grant‑funded health curriculum for grades 6–12
Summary
After committee review, the board approved a grant‑funded comprehensive health curriculum aligned to Proviso 140 and the Comprehensive Health Education Act for grades 6–12; administrators said the program is free through the grant and emphasizes risk avoidance and age‑appropriate modules.
Administrators recommended replacing the current Heritage Keepers curriculum with a modern, grant‑funded program that aligns with state requirements (Proviso 140 and the Comprehensive Health Education Act) and covers grades 6–12. The committee that reviewed options included teachers, parents and community members; administrators said instructors preferred the new materials for being more age‑appropriate and engaging.
Presenter(s) explained the curriculum emphasizes risk avoidance and age‑graded modules: a middle‑school track described as 'Choosing the Best Path' and a high‑school sequence culminating in lessons on relationships and lifelong decision making. The recommendation included seeking and securing the grant that will make the curriculum available free to the district. The board moved and approved the recommendation unanimously to adopt the curriculum and pursue the grant.
