District news
Board approves three prenatal-development video options
What happened
On June 22, the Board approved the prenatal-development videos presented under HB 1313: an EHD program, a Britannica animation, and Live Action’s Baby Olivia.
Why it matters to families
The decision concerns materials that may be used in prenatal-development lessons. The records do not show which districts selected a video or whether students have watched it.
The evidence
June 22 approved minutes record unanimous approval of all presented videos. The collected June resource list names the three options. Approval does not establish clinical review, teaching effectiveness, local use or the exact current statutory requirements.
