Board adds Family Life Education lessons in every grade, with a parent opt-out
What happened
The board approved a Family Life Education (FLE) curriculum for middle and high school on October 20, 2025 (3-2 vote), then approved a trimmed elementary version on December 15, 2025 (3-2). FLE covers topics like relationships, safety and health. Parents can opt their child out by grade and standard.
Why it matters to families
Students in all grades will get FLE lessons that the division had not been teaching. Families who do not want their child in some lessons need to use the opt-out form.
The evidence
The approved December 15, 2025 minutes record the motion to approve the elementary FLE curriculum, passed 3-2 (Brumback and Kennedy voting no), after some standards were removed. The October 20, 2025 minutes record the 3-2 vote adopting the middle and high school portions and describe the opt-out form broken down by grade and standard.
