In 2015, the Oregon legislature passed SB 856, also known as Erin’s Law. Erin’s Law requires the development and adoption of child sexual abuse prevention programs for students in kindergarten through 12th grade ​in all Oregon public schools.

SB 856 mandates that all Oregon Public Schools provide:

• A minimum of 4 instructional sessions (equal to or greater than a standard class period) of sex abuse prevention instruction per year for grades kindergarten through 12.

• Sexual abuse instruction that is integrated and part of required district comprehensive sexuality education plan and is aligned with state standards.

• Instruction that is age appropriate, medically accurate, and is not shame or fear based.

• Instruction that is culturally inclusive and is responsive to diverse students including race, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Aloha High School will begin implementing the 4 Erin’s Law lessons during Advisory starting in March. Skills addressed in the lessons include techniques to recognize sexual abuse, effective communication skills to establish boundaries, and skills to tell a trusted adult.

In all areas, parents and guardians are a child’s first and most influential teachers. Parents, guardians and schools share a common goal: we want students of all ages to be valued, respected, and safe in all aspects of their lives. Additional information on Erin’s Law can be found on the district website listed below:

If you have further questions regarding all or part of the Erin’s Law lessons, please inquire with your school administration. If you so choose, after you have reviewed the materials, your administrator can refer you to the curriculum opt-out documentation.
