         Human Sexuality Curriculum
            Position Statement
District Human Sexuality Curriculum Position Statement:
Brevard Public Schools human sexuality curriculum is now and
has been abstinence-based. There is no plan to modify the basis
of this curriculum.

Based on the 1992 School Board Adopted Human Sexuality
Curriculum Guide, the Brevard Public Schools abstinence-
based instruction emphasizes the benefits of abstinence and
presents abstinence as the only certain way of preventing
pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Contraceptive
information is given in the context of a failed approach to sexual
activity and does not include discussion about contraceptive
options except through student initiated questions.
        Recommendations to the
            Superintendent
Human Sexuality Curriculum Guide:
 • Teacher Training (annually)
 • Guidelines for Teachers and Counselors as to what
    information they can provide and that the information be
    based on research
    Note: Consistency regarding implementation

Recommendations for Approval of Outside Groups/Speakers:
• Based on Guiding Statements (1992)
• Two Groups advanced for consideration
            Next Steps
