HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Evansville Community School District Board of Education recognizes that the purpose of human growth and development education is to help students acquire factual knowledge, and skills, and develop attitudes and values which will result in behavior that contributes to the well-being of the individual, the family and society.
The human growth and development curriculum shall be developed by the professional staff and reviewed by an appointed advisory committee, which will advise the Board on the design and implementation of the curriculum.
The advisory committee shall be comprised of parents, teachers, school administrators, students, health care professionals, members of the clergy, and other residents of the District. No one category or member shall constitute more than one fifth of the committee, except for parents. No more than one quarter of the members of the committee may be made up of District employees or their spouses or school board members or their spouses.
Instructional materials to be used in the human growth and development curriculum will be available for inspection by the parent/guardian. Parents/guardians may request in writing that their children be excused from class when specific topics are being discussed. The District will offer an alternative curriculum for students whose parents excuse them.
