Late this afternoon, SC Schools received notification of PA 102-0522, which is the new Comprehensive Sex Education Standards legislation being discussed across Illinois.
The district has no intention of changing the way sex ed. has been incorporated into the Health curriculum for as long as anyone can remember.
SC 401 does not have a comprehensive Sex Ed program and has no intention of providing such.
We will simply opt out of the new sex ed standards.
Parents do not need to provide any kind of opt out form since we have done this for all students.
Hope this helps put concerns at ease.
