Summary:
SLCSD must have parents on the Human Sexuality Committee. This committee reviews all materials used to teach health topics related to maturation, sexuality, relationships, etc. We would like to have 10 parents from throughout the district agree to be on the committee. We need to have names by May 1 so we can have them approved by the Board. A flier is available to share with parents (click here to download).
Rationale:
State administrative code and district AP I-12: Human Sexuality Education indicate that we must have “at least as many parents as school employees” on the committee. We would like to have wide parent representation to review materials that will be used in Health classes.
Expectations for Implementation:
- Communication
- Ask parent groups for volunteers to participate for the 2026-27 school year.
- There are up to 5 meetings a year, scheduled from 4:00 – 5:00PM (If there is not a program to review, the meeting is canceled.)
- Meetings are held in person, but parents can participate online.
- Collaboration:
- Katie Lowery is available to help answer questions and talk with parents, 801-578-8208.
- Evaluation
- Please send names to katie.lowery@slcschools.org by May 1, 2026
