The California Healthy Youth Act (AB 329), which took effect January 1, 2016, requires school districts to provide students with comprehensive sexual health and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention education at least once in middle school and once in high school. Instruction and materials must be medically accurate, age-appropriate and inclusive of all students. The law requires that instruction and materials must encourage students to communicate with parents, guardians, or other trusted adults about human sexuality.
RUSD will provide this California state-mandated instruction for middle school students in 7th grade. RUSD science teachers will use the Positive Prevention Plus curriculum for approximately ten days.
Parents/guardians have the right to view the instructional materials.
