Board approved revisions to the sexual health curriculum

What happened

On June 23, 2026 the board unanimously approved revisions to the district's comprehensive sexual health curriculum. The revisions were presented on June 9 by a science and health program specialist, discussed alongside the district's family opt-out and alternative-curriculum options, and the board's Curriculum, Standards, Instructional and Student Services Committee told the board it unanimously supported them.

Why it matters to families

California requires districts to teach comprehensive sexual health, and parents have a right to opt their child out. A revision changes what is taught and when, so families who want to use the opt-out need to know the content has changed. The board record shows the committee review and the opt-out arrangements were discussed before the vote.

The evidence

The approved minutes of the June 23, 2026 regular meeting record item I-6, the motion by Ms. Creason seconded by Mr. Stanekzai to approve the revisions to the comprehensive sexual health curriculum, carried unanimously, and the committee vice chair's statement of unanimous committee support.
