2422 - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Board of Education believes that the School District should determine its role in human development instruction. This Board believes that such instruction should be shared by the public schools, home, and church.

The primary purpose of human development instruction is to promote more wholesome family and interpersonal relationships, and to develop healthy habits and moral values.

The Board believes that human development is a continuing process throughout life and therefore must be planned for the entire school experience of the child.

Venereal disease education shall be offered to high school students, except that, on the written request of his/her parent or guardian, a student shall be excused from taking such instruction.
