Sexual Violence Prevention Education

Teaching students about sexual violence prevention is essential for nurturing safe and caring schools and communities. It equips students with information and skills that promote healthy relationships and respect for others. It also helps students understand how to seek support if they or someone they know experiences sexual violence.

Prevention-oriented and developmentally-appropriate sexual violence prevention instruction to students addresses:

• bodily autonomy (e.g., body awareness and safety, consent, boundaries),
• recognizing and reporting sexual abuse, and
• accessible resources (e.g., trusted adults, community resources).

Department schools will be responsible for providing a description of the curriculum on their public-facing websites. Before the start of instruction to students, schools will notify parents and legal guardians about the upcoming instruction, how to preview the school’s materials, and the opt-out process.

A student shall be excused from sexual violence prevention instruction only upon the prior written request of the student’s parent or legal guardian. A student may not be subject to disciplinary action, academic penalty, or other sanctions if the student’s parent or legal guardian makes a written request.
