Board Hears Parent Feedback Regarding Health and Wellness Education
Board Chair Ginger Fitch thanked the community for their involvement during the district's four Health and Wellness Focus Group Meetings (January, March, May and November). Chair Fitch shared that she was present at the Nov. 27 Parent Focus Group Meeting. She reaffirmed the district's commitment to implementing curriculum and instruction that is:
- Age appropriate
- Ensure parents receive information about the topics prior to instruction
- Uses materials that contribute to a safe and comfortable classroom environment
- All teachers use the same curriculum and instruction that is informational and does not reflect personal views
The district and School Board will continue to work through Health and Wellness curriculum and instruction before official adoption later this winter.
