Students in middle and high school will be learning the district-adopted Comprehensive Sexual Health Education curriculum during this school year. If you are interested in attending an informational session about the Comprehensive Sexual Health Education curriculum, please attend one of the following informational sessions, held at the Issaquah School District Administrative office.

• Thursday, October 5, 6:00 p.m. (presentation lasts about 1.5 hours)
• Saturday, October 7, 9:00 a.m. (presentation lasts about 1.5 hours)

On each date at the appointed time, there will be an informal overview presentation on the Comprehensive Sexual Health Education curriculum utilized in middle and high school. Curriculum staff will be available to answer your questions. The passage of SB 5395, Comprehensive Sexual Education Bill, did not impact the District’s adopted sexual health curriculum. Our current sexual health curriculum content meets the requirements of the bill

It is not necessary for parents to attend a public review session if they do not intend to exempt their children from HIV/AIDS instruction. Being familiar with the curriculum will enhance your ability to talk with your children about this serious health threat. Current Sexual Health curriculum can be previewed through the King County Department of Public Health at https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/locations/family-planning/education/FLASH/previews.aspx and is also on display in the lobby of the Issaquah School District Administrative building during regular office hours until 10/9/2023.

HIV/AIDS Instruction for High School Students

In recognition of the significant threat that the HIV/AIDS virus presents to the health of the people of our nation, the Washington state legislature passed the Omnibus AIDS Bill in 1988.  This law directs local school districts to provide yearly instruction to students in grades 5-12 about the pathology and prevention of the HIV/AIDS virus. All 9-12 grade students will receive HIV/AIDS instruction in the course of the school day. The law requires that parents/ guardians must preview the HIV/AIDS curriculum, which is found within the FLASH curriculum, before exempting your child. This must be done each year. The information covered can be found at https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/locations/family-planning/education/FLASH/previews.aspx within lessons 9, 11 and 12. This video, produced by the CDC, will also be shown to high school students: https://youtu.be/vU8-iAB8iQc
