Jerome Joint School District No. 261

CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION 2340F(1)

Parental Opt-Out Form For Sex Education

I, _________________________________________ parent/guardian of _________________________________________,

request that my child be removed from class and/or student activities when planned instruction is given in the subject of sex education.

I understand a philosophy of abstinence shall be a part of and the underlying principal in all sex education instruction. Because this alone may not prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, the Board allows for instruction in sex education including AIDS awareness, sexually transmitted diseases, birth control and general human sexuality. In all cases the known facts will be taught, not the opinions or moral judgments of the instructor. This does not preclude giving impartial viewpoints on both sides of issues such as the right to an abortion or on the use of birth control methods.
