Sample School Board Resolution

Reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections is important to our community, and schools play a significant role in helping parents educate their children about sexuality and sexual health. We believe that students—to protect their health—deserve accurate, balanced sexuality information and assistance in developing skills in communication and making healthy decisions. We believe young people can make healthy, safe, and responsible choices when they are given knowledge, skills, and access to services. We believe young people deserve respect and can make good decisions for their future. Therefore, be it resolved [city, county, regional] Board of Education supports comprehensive, medically accurate sexuality education, that is age and developmentally appropriate, is free of bias and discrimination, and embodies the values of honesty, respect, and responsibility.
