Sex-ed books open to inspection

The public has the opportunity to review books and other materials that may be used in controversial, updated sex-education instruction in the Kyrene Elementary School District.

Books and other resources in the district’s expanded health curriculum will be on display during regular office hours Monday through Friday, through March 27, at the district office, 8700 S. Kyrene Road in Tempe. The office is closed holidays, most weekends and during school vacations.

During information sessions from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 29, Feb. 26 and March 6, community members can ask administrators’ questions and give verbal feedback regarding the materials.

Those who can’t make it during the week can review the materials and write down any comments from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Feb. 3 and noon-4 p.m. Feb. 24 at the district office.

After community debate, the Kyrene school board unanimously approved updating the health curriculum in August, including adding to the sixth- through eighth-grade sex-education curriculum:

Х Statements that sex refers to vaginal, oral and anal sexual acts.

Х Definitions of sexually transmitted infections.

After reviewing the public’s comments, the governing board will consider whether to give final approval of the sex-ed resources.
